Question
A carbon resistance is marked in red, green and orange bands. What is the approximate resistance of the resistor?
Solution
Resistance of the resistor can be found out using the color code.
Red - 2
Green - 5
Orange - 3
The first two bands i.e, red and green gives us the significant number and the third band gives us the decimal multiplier.
Therefore,
Resistance = 25 x 103 Ω
