That's a NEGATIVE 10 ohm resistor, not a standard (positive) 10 ohm
brown-black-black resistor. (Thats 10 ohms below zero ohms).

Come on...

You can?t have a negative resistor. It?s physically impossible.

But you can. It was mentioned only a day or two ago in the thread on
neon indicator bulbs. It is incrementally negative, mind, not averaging
across the whole voltage space. And therefore called resistance rather
than resistor.

Also applies to the tunnel diodes I used to play with in the 1960s which
could be made to oscillate at GHz with hardly any other components.


He doesn't know the seceret handshake, so none of the cool things
aren't available to him.
