A carbon resistance has a following colour code. What is the value of the resistance?
Options
- A6.4 M Ω ± 5 %
- B64 k Ω ± 10 %
- C530 k Ω ± 5 %
- D5.3 M Ω ± 5 %
Correct answer
C. 530 k Ω ± 5 %
Step-by-step solution
Colour band A and B indicate the first two significant figures of resistance in "ohm" , while the C band gives the decimal multiplier i.e., the number of zeros that follows the two significant figures A and B . The last band D indicates the tolerance in percentage about the indicate value or in another word, it represents the percentage accuracy of the indicated value. According to given color-coding, the values of the color of rings are Green 5 Orange 3 Yellow 4 Gold 5 % Value of resistance = 53 × 10 4 Ω
