The Wheatstone bridge shown in the figure here gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as $\mathrm{R}_1$ has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown) The resistors $R_2$ and $R_4$ are $80 \Omega$ and $40 \Omega$, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as $\mathrm{R}_3$, would be :

 

A 2 W carbon resistor is color-coded with green, black, red and brown respectively. The maximum current (in mA) which can be passed through this resistor is :

A $200 \Omega$ resistor has a certain color code. If one replaces the red color with green in the code, the new resistance (in $\Omega$ ) will 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.

Tolerance of Gold is %

Tolerance of Silver is \pm 10%

Tolerance if no colour \pm20%
