Two resistances A and B have colour codes orange, blue, white and brown, red, green, respectively. Then, ratio of their resistances A: B is
Options
- A3: 1
- B1: 3
- C1: 3 10⁴
- D3 10⁴: 1
Correct answer
D. 3 10⁴: 1
Step-by-step solution
Using colour code for carbon resistor, (For A) array ccc Orange & Blue & White & & 3 & 6 & 9 array R_ A =36 10⁹ Similarly, ( For B) array ccc Brown & Red & Green & & 1 & 2 & 5 array R_ B =12 10⁵ R_ A R_ B = 36 10⁹ 12 10⁵ =3 10⁴ R_ A : R_ B =3 10⁴: 1
