Question
A carbon resistor is marked in coloured bands in the sequence blue, green, orange and gold. What is the resistance and tolerance value of resistance?
Solution
The resistance can be calculated as per the color code of the respective bands.
Blue - 6
Green- 5
Orange - 3
The first two bands gives us the significant numbers and the third band gives us the decimal multiplier.
Therefore,
Resistance, R = 65 x 103 Ω ± 5%.
where, 5% is the tolerance of gold.
