The correct Answer is:
To determine the color code for the carbon resistor with a resistance of \( (47 \pm 4.7) \, k\Omega \), we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Resistance Value**: The resistance value given is \( 47 \, k\Omega \). This can be expressed in ohms as: \[ 47 \, k\Omega = 47 \times 10^3 \, \Omega = 47000 \, \Omega \] 2. **Determine the Significant Figures**: The first two digits of the resistance value are 4 and 7. Thus, we will use these digits for the first two color bands. 3. **Assign Colors to the First Two Bands**: - The first digit (4) corresponds to the color **Yellow**. - The second digit (7) corresponds to the color **Violet**. 4. **Determine the Multiplier**: The resistance is multiplied by \( 10^3 \). The exponent here is 3, which corresponds to the color **Orange**. 5. **Determine the Tolerance**: The tolerance is given as \( \pm 4.7 \, k\Omega \). To find the percentage tolerance: \[ \text{Percentage Tolerance} = \left(\frac{4.7}{47}\right) \times 100 \approx 10\% \] A tolerance of \( 10\% \) corresponds to the color **Silver**. 6. **Compile the Color Code**: Based on the above assignments, the color code for the resistor will be: - First Band: Yellow (4) - Second Band: Violet (7) - Third Band: Orange (multiplier of \( 10^3 \)) - Fourth Band: Silver (tolerance of \( 10\% \)) ### Final Color Code Sequence: The final color code sequence for the resistor is: **Yellow - Violet - Orange - Silver** ---
