So the ring-colors Brown-Black-Red would signify 1-0-00 or 1000 Ohms (1 kOhm).
The fourth ring (if present) determines tolerance grade.
15.1.4 Capacitors (Caps)
Capacitors come in either polarized or unpolarized varieties. Typically polarized values are used
when the capacitor value is bigger than 1 uF (micro-Farad). All capacitors have also a maximum
rated voltage, which can be fairly low for polarized capacitors. This means that the voltage the
capacitor is connected to in the circuit should be smaller than the rated voltage.
On a polarized capacitor the + side or minus side are marked with a + or a – sign. The + side
must go to the higher voltage.
