<^< Examples: Resistor Colour Code Test | Course Index | Examples: BS1852 Resistor Coding >^>
Some types of resistor have markings based on a system of coding defined in BS 1852. This system involves marking the position of the decimal point with a letter to indicate the multiplier concerned. A further letter is then appended to indicate the tolerance as shown in the table below.
| Letter | Multiplier |
| R | 1 |
| K | 1000 |
| M | 1000000 |
| Letter | Tolerance |
| F | ±1% |
| G | ±2% |
| J | ±5% |
| K | ±10% |
| M | ±20% |
