The carbon resistor has three orange bands. The maximum value of resistance offered by the resistor will be ..... .

Options

A. 49.6 k`Omega`
B. `39.6 k Omega`
C. `33 k Omega`
D. `26.4 k Omega`

Answer

B

Explanation

`39.6 k Omega`
Maximum resistance = 20% of R + R
= ` 33 xx 10^(3) + (20 xx 33 xx 10^(3))/(100) `
= 33000 + 6600
= 39600 `Omega`
` = 39.6 xx 10^(3) Omega = 39.6 k Omega`
