Question
Question: The resistance of the given Carbon resistor is \[(2.4 \times 10){\text{ }} \pm {\text{ }}5\% \]\(\Om...
The resistance of the given Carbon resistor is (2.4×10) ± 5Ω. What is the sequence of colors on the strips provided on the resistor?
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 BBRO YGBVGW. Here each alphabet represents the corresponding color sharing a perfect value, gradually increasing from 0 to 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%
Silver color resistance 10%
Here from given question
(2.4×1061)5%Ω
5k Measure - Red
4 Measure yellow
10 Measure used for the power notation where 6 measure Blue.
And last 5k 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.
