An allowable amount of variation on either side of specified measure. If a resistor is labelled as 100 ohms, with 20% tolerance, it might be anywhere from 80 to 120 ohms. If a resistor is labelled as 100 ohms with 10% tolerance, it should range between 90 and 110 ohms. If a resistor is labelled 100 ohm with 5% tolerance, it could vary between 95 and 105 ohms.
A tolerance is both ways, if a measure has 10% tolerance, then the total variation is 20%, plus 10 added to minus 10. If you are talking about variation to one side alone, the term is "deviation". If a resistor is supposed to be 100 ohms and actually tests at 105 ohms, it deviates by 5%, but is within allowable variation if it is specified to be within 5% tolerance.

What is the definition of tolerance as used in engineering?
Tolerance is the largest amount of error that can occur during its operation. Depending on the nature of the instrument, tolerance may sometimes be quoted instead of accuracy
What is the meaning of load resistance?
"Load resistor" is a discriptor, not a value. Any resistor can be a load resistor if it is the proper value and power for your application. So if you want a load resistor by itself, that makes no sense. A load resistor is a resistor selected for a specific purpose. For example, it you want to put a load on an audio amplifier made to drive an 8 ohm speaker to 50 watts, then your load resistor would be a 8 ohm 50 watt resistor. If you want a load resistor to terminate a 50 ohm line, you would need a 50 ohm resistor, although in this case, you probably want one that is part of a co-ax connector. A load resistor for an op-amp output is typically 2k, since most op-amps are rated for 10 volts at 5 mA. Etc, etc.
What is the definition of a expected value?
A value that you think some object is worth.

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 concept of resistor tolerance and its importance?
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).
What is the resistance value and tolerance of a resistor with Brown Green Red Silver?
15 k ohms with a 10% tolerance.
What the function of tolerance for resistor colour code?
Tolerance indicates how much the measured value of a resistance is different from its theoretical value, and it is calculated using percentages.
Value of resistor Yellow violet yellow gold color code?
470K ohm at 5% tolerance
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.
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 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%
How is resistor tolerance expressed?
Percent
How do you read chip resistor?
Use a digital ohm meter as opposed to attempting to read the lettering on the chip. This will give you an immediate value that will fall within the tolerance of the chip resistor.
What is the Effect of tolerance on power of the resistor?
The tolerance of a resistor is basically a measure of how close the actual resistance of that particular resistor is to the stated resistance. For example, a "220 ohm" resistor with a tolerance of 10% (silver band) has an actual resistance somewhere between 198 and 242 ohms.
What is the resistor E12 series?
10% tolerance.
