What is tolerance in resistor color coding?

What is tolerance in resistor color coding?

Tolerance is the percentage of error in the resistor’s resistance, or how much more or less you can expect a resistor’s actual measured resistance to be from its stated resistance. A gold tolerance band is 5% tolerance, silver is 10%, and no band at all would mean a 20% tolerance.

How do you find the resistance of a resistor using color code?

Reading and Determining the Resistor Value Hold the resistor with the gold or silver band to the right and read the color codes from the left to the right. Select the color codes from the bands on the resistor. Read the colors from left to right. The resistance value based on the color code provided is now displayed.

What is the color code for a resistor of resistance 350m ohm with 5% tolerance?

So the resistance with tolerance can be written as: $R = 3.5\Omega \pm 5\% $. Therefore the colour code will be: orange, green, red and gold.

What is resistor color code example?

Example: If the colors on a 6 band resistor is in this order: green, brown, violet, black, gold and orange. The values of color bands will be like this: Green = 5, Brown = 1, Violet = 7, Black = 100, Gold = 5%, Orange = 15ppm.

Which Colour represents 7 in resistor color code?

Violet
Resistor, capacitor and inductor

Color	Significant figures	Tolerance
Yellow	4	–
Green	5	±0.5%
Blue	6	±0.25%
Violet	7	±0.1%

Which colour represents 7 in resistor color code?

What is the resistance between A and B in the following figure?

Therefore, resultant resistance = 18.75 + 10 + 10 = 38.75 ohms.

What is the color of the tolerance?

Resistor, capacitor and inductor

Color	Significant figures	Tolerance
Yellow	4	–
Green	5	±0.5%
Blue	6	±0.25%
Violet	7	±0.1%

What is the color of the tolerance representing 20?

How to read Resistor Color Codes

Color	1st digit	Tolerance
White	9
Gold		±5% (J)
Silver		±10% (K)
None		±20% (M)
