Common Resistor and Capacitor Values - To manufacture resistors (or other components like capacitors) of every possible value would be imp

To manufacture resistors (or other components like capacitors) of every possible value would be impractical, instead they are made in a range of ‘Common Values’. The standard was created by Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and is often referred to as the “E” series. This series is broken into different tolerances:

E3 – 50% tolerance (no longer used)
E6 – 20% tolerance
E12 – 10% tolerance
E24 – 5% tolerance
E48 – 2% tolerance
E96 – 1% tolerance
E192 – 0.5, 0.25, 0.1% and higher...

Hy ElectroMaster,

Handy article about resistors.

I am being picky but would it be possible to improve the focus of the resistor table and also make the text in the table larger. Both would be a big help for those of us with white sticks.
