Question:

The order of coloured rings in a carbon resistor is red, yellow, blue and silver. What is the resistance of the carbon resistor?

Options:

26 X 104 Ω ± 5% 

36 X 104 Ω ± 5%

 24 X 104 Ω ± 10% 

34 X 106 Ω ± 5% 

Correct Answer:

 24 X 104 Ω ± 10% 

Explanation:

According to colour code of carbon resistors, red stands for 2, yellow for 4, blue for 6 and silver stands for 5%. First and second band represents the first two significant figure of resistance.Third band represents the power raised to 10 in the value of resistance. Fourth band represents the tolerance.
