Question

A carbon resistor has coloured bands as shown in Figure given below. The resistance of the resistor is:

• A. $26\Omega \pm 10\%$
• B. $26\Omega \pm 5\%$
• C. $260\Omega \pm 5\%$
• D. $260\Omega \pm 10\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $260\Omega \pm 5\%$

The resistance of the resistor with Red(2), Blue(6), Brown(10) and Gold(5%).

So, resistance$=(2+0.6)\times 100\pm 5\%=260\Omega \pm 5\%$.
