Question:

The carbon resistor has a set of coaxial coloured rings on it which are labelled here in the figure. What is the resistance value with a tolerance value for the colour coded resistor shown in the figure.

Options:

4200 Ω ± 5%

402 Ω ± 5%

240 Ω ± 10%

420 Ω ± 5%

Correct Answer:

420 Ω ± 5%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 420 Ω ± 5%

Resistance of a given resistor (R) is,

$R=42×10^{1}±5\%$

First Band: Yellow (4)
