In the resistance colour code, the fourth band signifies

A

tolerance level

B

power of ten

C

the total value of resistance

D

the material of the resistor

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The first and second band represent the numerical value of the resistor, and the color of the third band specify the power-of-ten multiplier. Reading the resistor from left to right, the fourth band represents the tolerance.

Capacitor values as written on small capacitors are sometimes misleading. Letters like p (pico) or n (nano) are used in place of the decimal point to identify its position and the value of the capacitor. For example, a capacitor labelled as n33 = 0.33nF, 8n2 = 8.2nF, 22n = 47nF and so on. Sometimes capacitors are marked with the capital letter K to signify a value of Kilo pico-Farads. As for example, a capacitor with the markings of 100K would be 1000 xx 100 pF = 100 Kpf = 100 nF. Sometimes, a three letter code consists of the two value digits and a multiplier. For example, the digits 471 = 47 xx 10 = 470 pF, 332 = 33 xx 100 = 3300 pf. To reduce these confusions an International colour coding scheme was developed almost same as that of resistance colour code. The value obtained from colour code is in pf. What is the value of the capacitor if n27 is written on it?
