**Problem Statement:**

A 1/8 W resistor having a color code of yellow/violet/red/silver is connected across a power supply. What is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the resistor and not exceed the power rating of the resistor? Prove your answer (i.e., show mathematically why your answer is valid).

**Solution:**

To solve this problem, we first need to determine the resistance of the resistor using the color code and then use the power formula to find the maximum voltage.

**1. Determining Resistance from Color Code:**

- **Yellow:** 4
- **Violet:** 7
- **Red:** Multiplier of 100
- **Silver:** Tolerance of ±10%

The resistance is calculated as:

\[ \text{Resistance} = (47 \times 100) \, \text{ohms} = 4700 \, \text{ohms} \]

**2. Calculating Maximum Voltage Using Power Formula:**

The power rating \( P \) of the resistor is 1/8 watts. The formula for power is:

\[ P = \frac{V^2}{R} \]

Where \( V \) is the voltage across the resistor and \( R \) is the resistance. Rearranging the formula to solve for \( V \):

\[ V = \sqrt{P \times R} \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{1}{8} \text{W} \times 4700 \, \text{ohms}} \]

\[ V = \sqrt{587.5} \]

\[ V \approx 24.24 \, \text{V} \]

Hence, the maximum voltage that can be applied to the resistor without exceeding its power rating is approximately 24.24 volts.
