A carbon resistor of 56 ± 5 . 6 kΩ is to be marked with rings of different colours for its identification. The colour code sequence will be
Options
- Agreen, blue, orange, silver
- Bblue, yellow, orange, silver
- Cgreen, red, orange, silver
- Dred, green, blue, gold
Correct answer
A. green, blue, orange, silver
Step-by-step solution
Given, R = 56 ± 5 . 6   k   Ω = 56   k   Ω ± 10   % of 56   k   Ω = 56 × 10 3 ± 10   %   Ω As per the colour code for carbon resistors, the colour assigned to numbers 5 → Green 6 → Blue 3 → Orange For 10   % accuracy or tolerance, the colour is silver. Hence, the bands of colours of carbon resistor in sequence are green, blue, orange and silver.
