Select Resistors Find the 220W and the 470W resistors from your parts kit.
Now, find the 220W resistor.
Example: 470 W resistor
4 = yellow7 = violetAdd 1 zero to 47 to make 470, so 1 = brown
So, 470 = yellow, violet, brown

check for conservation of charge
Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL)The algebraic sum of currents entering a node is zero.
Current In = Current Out
