Best Answer

Tolerance indicates how much the measured value of a resistance is different from its theoretical value, and it is calculated using percentages.

What do the bands on resistors mean?

in simple terms, band represent numbers, ex:- 10K resistor have different colour code and that is difference from 5k resistor. if you type in google 'resistor colour code' that will describe how to calculate a resistor value. thanks


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 is the resistance and tolerance of a four band resistor with the following colors greenblueorangegold?

the 4 colour resistor colour code is thus: black = 0 brown = 1 red = 2 orange = 3 yellow =4 green = 5 blue = 6 violet = 7 grey = 8 white = 9 the first two numbers are found directly on the table. the third number is not the number, but the number of zeros at the end. therefore the value is yellow = 4, green = 5, and brown equals 1 zero, so the total is 450 ohms. the gold band indicates tolerance. gold is by far the most common, and indicates a tolerance of +/- 5%. therefore the actual value of the resistor could be anywhere between 427.5 and 472.5.


What is the resistor color code used for?

Resistors are quite small. We use colour codes in order to be able to fit a lot of information in little space. Each colour represent a number. Each band of colour have its own representation. On a 4 band resistor, the first two are actual values, the third is a multiplier and the fourth is accuracy. Please check out related question and answer down below for more information.


What is the color code of a 50k ohm resistor?

Green, Black, Orange, (gold / silver) Green = 5 Black = 0 Orange = x10^3 50x10^3 = 50,000 or 50k Ohm

What do the colours on resistor mean?

The colored bands on a resistor represent the resistor value and tolerance. The first two bands indicate the significant digits of the resistance value, the third band represents the multiplier, and the fourth band (if present) indicates the tolerance of the resistor. By decoding these colors, you can determine the resistance value of the resistor.

What is the resistor color code and how is it used to identify and select resistors?

The resistor color code use to help to identify the resistance of the resistor. There are four color in the resistor that help to identify the resistance of the resistor. The first and second color represent the numerical value of the resistor. The third color represent the multiplier. The four color represent the tolerance.

How can you find a resistance of resistor without DMM explain the method with the help of example?

Hi You can find the value of the resistor by using colour code printed on the resistor. 1. Hold the resistor such that the colour code starts from left. 2. Each of the colour bands present on the resistor specifies a value. 3. The first colour band represents the first significant figure, the second band represents the second significant figure and the third band indicates the multiplier. The fourth band represents the tolerance. Gold band- 5%, Silver band-10%, No band-20% 4.Find the appropriate values for the colour by using the chart 1. 5. Find the value of the resistor by using the formula 1. Chart1 Example: Here first band represent brown. Second band represent black. Third band represent red . Fourth band represent gold. The value of resistor = 10 x 102 ± 5% = 1kΩ ± 5%
