codes for capacitors, resistance falls with the specified tolerance

Hi

I think the color codes for capacitors are the same as for the resistors.

It says the resistance falls with the specified tolerance. What does it mean?

On this link it says "The first two figures give 10 the third figure'4' gives 0000 and the last 'k' = 10%" (3rd paragraph 1st line). The table given for tolerance at the end of that link has no value for "k". Why is so?

Falling within the specified tolerance means the the value of a particular component that you buy can vary from the nominal value by the tolerance value. Thus a 10kΩ±10% resistor that you purchase can actually have any value between 9kΩ and 11kΩ.

Not sure why k is not shown in the referenced table. Looks like a typo.

Nuts to the referenced table. Here's the tolerance letter codes and their values:

B = ±0.1pF
C = ± 0.25pF
D = ±0.5pF
E = ±0.25%
F = ±1.0pF
G = ±2%
H = ±2.5%
J = ±5%
K = ±10%
L = ±15%
M = ±20%
N = ±30%
P = -0, +100%
S = -20, +50%
W = -0, +200%
X = -20, +40%
Z = -20, +80%
