Parallel Circuit Mystery Cache

Solve some parallel circuit challenges to get a fun smiley. 

Resistors are arguably the most common electronic device. They're so prevalent most of us use them daily.

The resistor's primary job is to limit the amount of current that flows through a circuit. Ohm is the unit used to express how much resistance a resistor provides.  The uppercase Greek letter Omega represents this unit.

I call your attention to the colorful bands on the resistors in the image above. They have a special meaning based on color and position.  I'll share a handy color-chart that should prove useful in determining a given resistor value. You'll use the chart to help you solve the challenges of this fun, educational, puzzle cache.  

Solve for Positions A, B, C -- Calculate resistance

A = 1st digit of the highest resistance

B = 2nd digit of the lowest resistance

C = 1st digit of the middle resistance 

Solve for Positions D, E, F -- Calculate Resistance

D = 1st digit minus 2nd digit from highest resistance

E = 1st digit of lowest resitance

F = 1st digit of middle resistance divided by 1st digit of the lowest resistance

I placed an 'easter egg' in the gallery for cachers interested in such things.
