Solve by difficulty

Carbon resistors used in electronic circuits are marked for their value of resistance and tolerance by a colour code. A given resistor has colour scheme brown,red,green and gold. Its value in ohms is

A carbon resistor has the following color code. What is the value of resistance?

A resistance is shown in the figure. Its value and tolerance are given respectively by :

In the colour coding system , if only 3 bands are present then its tolerance is taken as

The resistance of a carbon resistor determined from colour codes is $(22000 \pm 5 \%) \Omega$. The colour of third band must be:

Colour coding of Resistance
  1. Colour coding of Resistance

The carbon resistance has normally four coloured rings bands A,B,C and D .

 

Colour bands A and B Indicates the decimal figure.

Colour band C Indicates the decimal multiplier.

Colour band D Indicates the tolerance in per cent about the indicated value. Tolerance represents the percentage accuracy of the indicated value.
