Question

A 4 band resistor has the following color code:

Orange Blue Yellow Gold.

What will be the maximum value of the resistor?

Expert Solution

Step 1

According to the color-coding scheme of 4 band resistors, the first 2 bands give the values, the third band gives the multiplier and the 4th band gives the tolerance.

In this case, the first band is Orange which stands for 3.

The second band is Blue which stands for 6.

So, the value of the resistor is 36.

The third band i.e. the multiplier is yellow which stands for 4.

So, without the tolerance being considered, the nominal value of the resistor will be
