The resistance of a carbon resistor is \(4.7 \mathrm{k} \Omega\) \(\pm 5 \%\). The colour of the third band is

  1. A gold
  2. B red
  3. C violet
  4. D orange
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) red

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, resistance of carbon resistor
\(R=4.7 \mathrm{k} \Omega \pm 5 \%=47 \times 10^2 \Omega \pm 5 \%\)
The colour of four bands will be \(4 \rightarrow\) yellow
\(\begin{aligned} & 7 \rightarrow \text { Violet } \\ & 2 \rightarrow \text { Red } \\ & \pm 5 \% \rightarrow \text { Gold }\end{aligned}\)
Thus, colour of third band is red.
