The four bands of a colour coded resistor are of the colours gray, red, gold and gold. The value of the resistance of the resistor is

  1. A \(5.2 \Omega \pm 5 \%\)
  2. B \(82 \Omega \pm 10 \%\)
  3. C \(8.2 \Omega \pm 5 \%\)
  4. D \(82 \Omega \pm 5 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8.2 \Omega \pm 5 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Colours in sequence,
Gray \(\rightarrow 8 \quad\) (1st digit)
Red \(\rightarrow 2\) (2nd digit)
Gold \(\rightarrow 0.1\) (Multiplier)
Gold \(\rightarrow \pm 5 \%\) (Tolerance)
\(\Rightarrow(82 \times 01) \pm 5 \% \Rightarrow R=8.2 \Omega \pm 5 \%\)
