A resistor with yellow, violet, orange and silver bands equals_____
A) $47 \mathrm { k } \Omega \pm 5 \%$
B) $47 \mathrm { M } \Omega \pm 10 \%$
C) $47 \mathrm { k } \Omega \pm 10 \%$
D) $4.7 \mathrm { k } \Omega \pm 10 \%$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first two bands (yellow and violet) represent the digits 4 and 7, respectively.

The third band (orange) represents the multiplier, which is 10^3 or 1000.

The fourth band (silver) represents the tolerance, which is ±10%.

Putting it all together, we have:

47 × 10^3 Ω with a tolerance of ±10%

Simplifying this gives us:

47 kΩ ± 10%

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
