It's because component values are oganised (roughly) as percentage increases
compared to the next value with 6,12, 24, 48 or 96 increments in a decade (
known as E6 values, E12 etc... ).
so the E6 values run for example
1, 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7, 6.8 (where each value is about 1.5 times the
previous one)
10, 15........
You can make up any value from the basic values provided.
Yes you can by adding components in series or parallel !
Where do you think the values come from !
Yes and I am becoming intolerant of you !
