I viewed this sheet of resistor and capacitor standard values.
Some people say some of the values are not common to get any more, which means that if I don't have a particular value handy, I'd have to connect other values in series (such as 100ohm and 2 10ohm to get 120ohm). But then when I talk about series connections, people tell me it's not common to connect multiple resistors in series. So, what's the truth here? Is it easy to get all of the values, or are my options limited, and I would need to connect in series to get proper resistance?
