18. The colored bands for a 4,700 ohm resistor with a ten percent tolerance are ________.

(a) yellow, violet, red, gold
(b) yellow, violet, orange, gold
(c) yellow, violet, red, silver
(d) orange, violet, red, silver

Answer
Answer : (c)
Explanation
Explanation :

Yellow: 4
Violet: 7
Red: 2
Silver: 10% tolerance.

Resistor is : 47 * 10^2 = 4,700 ohm.

BLACK: 0
BROWN: 1
RED: 2
ORANGE: 3
YELLOW: 4
GREEN: 5
BLUE: 6
VIOLET: 7
GREY: 8
WHITE: 9

GOLD: 5% (tolerance)
SILVER: 10%  (tolerance)
NO COLOUR: 20% (tolerance)

The first band gives the first digit.
The second band gives the second digit.
The third band indicates the number of zeros.
The fourth band is used to shows the tolerance (precision) of the resistor.

Short trick of colour bands:
B B R O Y G B V G W.
BB ROY GO BOMBAY VIA GATE WAY.
(B- Black – 0, B – Brwon – 1, R – Red – 3, O – Orange – 4, Y – Yellow – 5, G – Green – 6, B – Blue – 7, V – Violet – 8, G – Gray – 9, W – white – 10) [#Gold =5% #Silver= 10% #No colour = 20%]

19. A red, red, orange, gold resistor has a nominal value of ________.

(a) 22,000 Ω
(b) 2,200 Ω
(c) 22 Ω
(d) 2.2 Ω

Answer
Answer : (a)
Explanation
Explanation :

Red: 2
Red: 2
Orange: 3
Gold: 5% tolerance.

Resistor is : 22 * 10^3 = 22,000 ± 5% ohm.

BLACK: 0
BROWN: 1
RED: 2
ORANGE: 3
YELLOW: 4
GREEN: 5
BLUE: 6
VIOLET: 7
GREY: 8
WHITE: 9

GOLD: 5% (tolerance)
SILVER: 10%  (tolerance)
NO COLOUR: 20% (tolerance)

The first band gives the first digit.
The second band gives the second digit.
The third band indicates the number of zeros.

Answer
Answer : (d)
Explanation
Explanation :

G = Conductance
R = Resistance
G = 1/R = 1/8 = 0.125 = 125 mS
