The resistance of the given Carbon resistor is (2.4×10) ± 5(2.4 \times 10){\text{ }} \pm {\text{ }}5% Ω\Omega . What is the sequence of colors on the strips provided on the resistor?

Explanation

Solution

We know that they have different colors which show the resistance and also they have a pattern to look at it.
We can use the code B    B  R    O Y    G    B  V      G      W{\mathbf{B}}\;\;{\mathbf{B}}\;{\mathbf{R}}\;\;{\mathbf{O}}{\text{ }}{\mathbf{Y}}\;\;{\mathbf{G}}\;\;{\mathbf{B}}\;{\mathbf{V}}\;\;\;{\mathbf{G}}\;\;\;{\mathbf{W}}. Here each alphabet represents the corresponding color sharing a perfect value, gradually increasing from 0 to 90{\text{ }}to{\text{ }}9. For error notation, we use golden and silver colors.

Complete step by step answer:
We know the sequence

And for error
gold color resistance 5%5\%
Silver color resistance 10%10\%
Here from given question
(2.4×1061)5%  Ω\left( {2.4 \times {{10}^6}1} \right)5\% \;\Omega
5k5k Measure - Red
44 Measure yellow
1010 Measure used for the power notation where 66 measure Blue.
And last 5k5k is gold
So here are Red, Yellow, Blue, gold these four colors on the strips provided on the resistor.

Note: Carbon resistor is one of the most common types of electronics used.
And also I know that gold Silver is written in ++ format because these are the fault of the resistance and they are used in the percent notation. They are made from a solid cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire leads or metal and caps.
