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 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 largest value the resistor can be and still be in tolerance?

To determine the largest value a resistor can be while still being in tolerance, you need to know the resistor's nominal value and its tolerance percentage. For example, if a resistor has a nominal value of 100 ohms with a tolerance of 5%, the maximum allowable resistance would be 100 ohms + (5% of 100 ohms), which is 105 ohms. Thus, the largest value the resistor can be while remaining in tolerance is 105 ohms.

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.

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.
