Look at the 4th band:

  • silver, 10%
  • gold, 5%
  • brown, 1%
  • red, 2%
  • orange, 3%
  • yellow, 4%

A resistor with only 3 bands is 20%

Why are resistors produced with a certain number of preferred values to a particular tolerance?

it is because the tolerance between tow of the resistors would overlap and that would be pointless.


What is the color code that indicates 20 percent tolerance?

Resistors made to a 20% tolerance do not have a color in the 4th tolerance band.


Why do resistors need to be precise?

A: Resistors are never precise they normally come with 5% tolerance. However if precise tolerance is needed one can purchase a precise resistor down to 0,01% or even lower % but these resistors are special and made special for each application


How do you randomly choose resistors for your voltage divider circuit?

you don't. you calculate resistors required for your needs then select closest available resistors made with acceptable tolerance.


What are three important ratings all resistors?

Why are the measured values of resistors different from the nominal values?

All electronic components have a tolerance value in their specification. For resistors, it is specified as a plus or minus tolerance. Typical ranges are 5%, 10%, and 20%, though you can get 1% and 0.1% (matched set) resistors if you want to pay the price. In addition, each measurement has systematic and random error associated with it. All of this must be considered when measuring the impedance of a resistor.


What kinds of circuits need precise resistors?

Timing circuits, and any circuit that depends on the resistor value being fairly precise, such as voltage dividers and comparators. Old story....engineers knew that you couldn't pick through a bunch of loose precision resistors to find close tolerance resistors....The manufacurer already took the close precision resistors and sold them separately. This is not so true these days. Even low tolerance resistors might be high precision. Usually the manufacturer will fill the loose precision needs with parts better than required.


How calculated the value of resistor that is to be used in particular circuit?

To read the value of a resistor: Resistors are color coded, you can use the chart found below And how accurate the values of resistors are is their tolerance, also found in the chart


What is the main advantages of the colourcoding of resistors?

Colour coding resistors is an inexpensive way to denote their resistance value and tolerance percentage during mass production. It would be considerably more expensive to print numerical values on small components like resistors and probably hard to read the results.


What is the value of 1E5 resistor?

According to the EIA-96 system which applies to SMD resistors, it means 10K (10,000 ohm), 5% tolerance.
