Current Electricity Ques 29

29. The color code of a resistance is given below

The values of resistance and tolerance, respectively, are

(a) $47 k \Omega, 10 \%$

(b) $4.7 k \Omega, 5 \%$

(c) $470 \Omega, 5 \%$

(d) $470 k \Omega, 5 \%$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 29.(c)

Solution:

  1. (c) According to colour coding -
Yellow Violet Brown Gold
4 7 1 $5 \%$

First colour gives first digit, second colour gives the second digit and third colour gives the multiplier and fourth colour gives tolerance.

$\therefore$ Resistance,

$R=47 \times 10^{1} \pm 5 \%=470 \pm 5 \% \Omega$
