Resistance of a carbon resistor determined from colour codes is ( 22000 ± 5 % ) Ω . The colour of the third band must be :
Options
- AYellow
- BRed
- CGreen
- DOrange
Correct answer
D. Orange
Step-by-step solution
Resistance using the colour codes is written as R=[(numbers)×(multiplier) ±(tolerance(%))]. Colour 1: First significant figure Colour 2: Second significant figure Colour 3: Decimal multiplier Colour 4(or no colour): Tolerance For the given case: Resistance can be written as = 22 × 10 3 ± 5 %   Ω . Colour of the third band corresponds to decimal multiplier which is 10 3 , hence colour is Orange.
