▼

- First, look closely: The image displays a resistor with four colored bands: brown, black, red, and yellow. The task is to determine the resistance value using the standard resistor color code.
- Next, find information: I need to recall or look up the standard resistor color code chart to map each color to its corresponding digit and multiplier.
- Then, review the findings: Based on the standard color code, brown corresponds to 1, black to 0, red to 2 (as a multiplier of 10^2), and yellow indicates a tolerance of ±5%. Combining these, the resistance value is calculated as 10 × 10^2 ohms, which equals 1000 ohms or 1 kiloohm.

The resistor's value is 1 kΩ with a tolerance of ±5%.
