Evaluate resistance for the following colour coded resistors:
i. Yellow – Violet – Black – Silver
ii. Green – Blue – Red – Gold
iii. Brown – Black – Orange – Gold
i. Given: Yellow – Violet – Black – Silver
To find: Value of resistance
Formula: Value of resistance
= (xy × 10z ± T%)Ω
Colour | Yellow (x) | Violet (y) | Black (z) | Sliver (T%) |
Code | 4 | 7 | 0 | ±10 |
Hence x = 4, y = 7, z = 0, T = 10%
Value of resistance = (xy ×10z ± T%) Ω
= (47 × 10° ± 10%) Ω
Value of resistance = 47 Ω ± 10%
To find: Value of resistance
Formula: Value of resistance
= (xy × 10z ± T%) Ω
Calculation:
Colour | Green (x) | Blue (y) | Red (z) | Gold (T%) |
Code | 5 | 6 | 2 | ±5 |
Hence x = 5, y = 6, z = 2, T = 5%
Value of resistance = (xy × 10z ± T%) Q
= 56 × 102 Ω ± 5%
= 5.6 k Ω ± 5%
iii. Given: Brown – Black – Orange – Gold
To find: Value of the resistance
Formula: Value of the resistance
= (xy × 10z ± T%) Ω
Calculation:
Colour | Brown (x) | Black (y) | Orange (z) | Gold (T%) |
Code | 1 | 0 | 3 | ±5 |
Hence x = 1, y = 0, z = 3, T = 5%
Value of resistance = (xy × 10z ± T%) Ω
= 10 × 103 Ω ± 5%
= 10 kΩ ± 5%
