A: Not all application need close tolerance of values some application only need 5% and some 10% so the band is there to specify the -/+ % tolerance that the part is in compliance with. Designers decide what parts % is needed for proper performance of the circuit.

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 does the tolerance band on a resistor do?

A: It just tell you the resistor has a +- % tolerance in its value. Like a 1000 ohms +-5% it can be off + or - that much. That has being the standard for forever however that band is disappearing since most resistors are made +-5% as a rule.


A resistor is marked with the following color bands brown black red and gold What is the resistance of this resistor?

The color bands on a resistor represent the resistor's resistance value. In this case, the colors brown, black, red, and gold correspond to the digits 1, 0, 2, and a multiplier of 10%, respectively. Therefore, the resistance of this resistor can be calculated as 10 * 10^2 ohms, which equals 1000 ohms or 1 kiloohm.


What are the color codes on a 47 Ohm resistor with a tolerance of 5 percent?

On a standard four band resistor: yellow, violet, black, and gold.


What is the value of a resistor with brown black red and silver?

That would be a 200 Ohm resistor, and you didn't mention the tolerance, so I'm guessing you didn't see another band which means the tolerance would be at 20%


What doe the last color band on a resistor represent?

It's the tolerance of the resistor - +/- 10% (grey), 5% (tan/orange), 2% (red), 1% (dark red/maroon), etc.


What is the value of a 4-band resistor with yellow violet orange and silver as the bands?

47000 ohms with a 10% tolerance Yellow = 4 Violet = 7 Orange = 1000 (this is the multiplier) Silver = 10% tolerance


What is the value of a resistor with red red brown silver?

220 ohms with a 10 percent tolerance. Red is 2 and brown is 1. Brown is in the multiplier band so it is 10 times the value in the first two bands. Silver is in the tolerance band. Gold would have been a %5 tolerance device.


What is the resistance of a resistor color code black orange orange?

Black is never the first band of a resistor color code, so you must be reading the stripes backwards. Orange-Orange-Black = 33 ohms.


What do the different colours on a resistor mean?

The color bands on a resistor indicate its resistance value. Each color corresponds to a digit, which is used to calculate the resistance value based on a specific color code chart. The tolerance of the resistor is also indicated by a separate color band.


What is the value in ohms of a resistor colored brown red yellow gold?

The first band, brown, indicates the digit 1.The second band, red, indicates the digit 2.The third band indicates the multiplier. For yellow, this is 10000.12x10000 = 120,000 ohms.The last band is an indication of the tolerance of the resistor; gold means the actual value is within 5% of the stated value.


What value is resistor that is colored white white white brown?

When a resistor has a 4th color band, its color is either gold or silver, so I will assume the color bands are white-white-white-gold. The resistance is 99 GΩ ± 5%.
