Hi, I've tried a search on these forums and I couldn't find an answer to my question.
I was wondering if resistor colour codes can begin with a black band?
For example, does a 7000 ohm resistor ever get shown as the following:
Black - Violet - Orange - Gold = 7000 ohm +-5%
Black - Black - Violet - Orange - Gold = 7000 ohm +-5%
Black - Violet - Black - Red - Gold = 7000 ohm +-5%
as opposed to starting with non-black bands:
Violet - Black - Red - Gold = 7000 ohm +-5%
Violet - Black - Black - Brown = 7000 ohm +-5%
Also why would a manufacturer choose to represent 7000 ohm with a 4 band resistor as opposed to a 5 band resistor or vice versa?
Thank you!
