Resistor tolerance is how accurate the resistor value is. You may have a 10% tolerance, 820 ohm resistor, which means the actual value of resistance is 820 ohms +/- 82 ohms.
If you design a circuit that has very stringent requirements for resistor values, you may need to purchase a resistor that has a smaller tolerance (like 5, 2, 1, .5%). The smaller the tolerance, the more expensive it will be (generally).

How is resistor tolerance expressed?
Percent
What is the purpose of specifying the tolerance of a resistor?
on electronic components, of course, can not be made absolutely perfect. so there must be imperfections in the making, it is called tolerance. for ex: 100ohm resistor ,a tolerance of 5%, meaning the resistance between 95-105ohm (100ohm * + / -5%). not fit 100ohm.
A resistor is marked with the following color bands brown black red and gold What is the resistance of this resistor?
1000 ohms = 1Kohm; silver is the tolerance band of the resistor. Silver signifies plus or minus 10%. The fourth band is always the tolerance band. If there is no tolerance band, the tolerance is plus or minus 20%. A gold band would signify plus or minus 5%.
What the function of tolerance for resistor colour code?
Tolerance indicates how much the measured value of a resistance is different from its theoretical value, and it is calculated using percentages.
When 10 ohm resistor and 100 mega ohm resistor are connected in series then what will be the combined resistance?
100 megohm the 10 ohms completely vanishes in the tolerance of the 100 megohm resistor, in that range tolerances can exceed 20% of nominal.
How do you get minimum and maximum value of resistor?
The minimum and maximum possible value is defined by the tolerance. To calculate the range of the resistor, simply add or remove the amount of the tolerance. For example, a 100Kohm resistor with 5% tolerance can range from 95Kohm through until 105Kohm. The lower the tolerance, the more accurate the resistor is.

What is the resistor E12 series?

Basic concept of resistor?
resistor is to resists the flow of current
What is the upper control limit of a 1 ohm resistor with a 20 percent tolerance?
A 1 ohm 20% tolerance resistor should not exceed 1.2 ohms actual resistance.
Is the tolerance range for a 2600-ohm resistor with a tolerance of 15 percent 2210w-2990w?
Yes, that looks right.
What is the resistance value and tolerance of a resistor with Brown Green Red Silver?
15 k ohms with a 10% tolerance.
A resistor of 10k ohms resistance with tolerance of 5 percent is connected in parallel with another resistor of 5k ohms resistance and 10 percent tolerance.what is tolerance limit of parallel network?
6.67%
How do you calculate percentage error of a resister?
You don't, you read the tolerance markings. If you measure the resistor and it is outside the marked tolerance it is bad.

What is the maximum allowable resistance of a 680ohms resistor?
This depends on the tolerance rating of the resistor. There's 1, 2, 5, 10% tolerances. For tighter tolerances, you pay a premium - you can get tolerances as close as .1%. This is defined by one of the bands on the resistor. For a 10% tolerance, the maximum resistance of a 680 ohm resistor could be 748 ohms.
