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.

Why experimental calculations shoul use measured values of resistors rather than color coded values?

Experimental calculations should use measured values of resistors, because actual resistors can deviate slightly from their color-coded values due to manufacturing tolerances. Using measured values ensures more accurate results in experiments where resistor values play a critical role.


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

1: Resistors are manufactured with different tolerances, ie they're allowed to be both a bit above as well as below the target value. 2: If you're using a simple multimeter there's no telling how close the measured value is to the real value anyhow, once that you get down to the decimal places.


Do the resistors lie wwithin the tolerance limits?

To determine if the resistors lie within the tolerance limits, you need to compare the measured resistance values of the resistors with the specified range provided by the tolerance. If the measured resistance values fall within this specified range, then the resistors are within tolerance limits.


How does the nominal and real values of things affect the aggregate behavior of a society?

In economics, the nominal values of something are its money values in different years


Economic variables whose values are measured in monetary units are called?

Nominal Variables


How will amps and current differ in a series if you get resistors with different resistance?

-- "Amps" and "current" are the same thing. Electric current is measured in units of Amperes. -- The current is always the same at every point in a series circuit, no matter how many resistors of the same or different values are in the circuit.


What is precision resistor?

A precision resistor is a resistor that has an actual value that is very close (or precise) to its nominal (or stated value). Therefore, precision resistors have a very degree of accuracy of being very close to their nominal values.


The sum of currents across the resistors equals the currents through the source in which type of circuit?

In parallel circuit the current through the resistors are different in values depending upon the values of resistors. But the sum of the currents across all the resistors will be equal to the current through the sourcgsvg bdjasuhafyuhda


Does the current remains the same in a series circuit despite the different values if the resistors in the circuit?

current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa


What are nominal values?

Nominal values are the values that a component is specified to be. For example, the nominal value of a 10K resistor is 10K. Its actual value may vary, though, based on its tolerance.


What is the difference between real income and money income?

In economics, the nominal values of something are its money values in different years. Real values adjust for differences in the price level in those years. Examples include a bundle of commodities, such as Gross Domestic Product, and income. For a series of nominal values in successive years, different values could be because of differences in the price level. But nominal values do not specify how much of the difference is from changes in the price level. Real values remove this ambiguity. Real values convert the nominal values as if prices were constant in each year of the series. Any differences in real values are then attributed to differences in quantities of the bundle or differences in the amount of goods that the money incomes could buy in each year....


What is your observation of resistors in series?

I observe that the total effective resistance of several resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistance values of the individual resistors.
