Q125 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Physics
Resistance of a carbon resistor determined from colour codes is () . The colour of the third band must be :
- AYellow
- BRed
- CGreen
- Correct answerDOrange
Solution
Resistance using the colour codes is written as
R=[(numbers)×(multiplier) ±(tolerance(%))].Colour 1: First significant figure
Colour 2: Second significant figure
Colour 3: Decimal multiplier
Colour 4(or no colour): ToleranceFor the given case:
Resistance can be written as .
Colour of the third band corresponds to decimal multiplier which is , hence colour is Orange.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
