If the four colours of the bands in a carbon resistor are orange, blue, yellow and gold, the resistance value is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) - $(36 × 10^4)±5\%Ω$
(1) First Band (Orange): Represent the first digit 3.
(2) Second Band (Blue): Represent the Second digit 6.
(3) Third Band (Yellow): Represent the multiplies $10^4$.
(4) Fourth Band (Gold): Represent the tolerance ± 5%
Resistance = 36 × 10,000 Ω = 360 kΩ
and, tolerance = 5%
∴ 360 kΩ± 5%Ω
