 Resistors are small components which restrict the amount of current running through a circuit. Their resistance is measured in Ohms. The larger the number of Ohms, the more they resist electrical current.
-The coloured bars on the resistor tell you its resistance. You can convert them to a number using a tool like this: http://www.dannyg.com/examples/res2/resistor.htm
