Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

A resistor with colour is provided:

red-violet-orange-gold

To find:

Max tolerance ?

Calculation:

In a 4 band resistor , we have :

1. 1st digit

2. 2nd digit

3. Multiplier

4. Tolerance

Now, for tolerance ,

• The following colours have values as:

$1) \: gold = \pm 5\%$

$2) \: silver = \pm 10\%$

$3) \: none= \pm 20\%$

Since the 4th colour is gold in the given resistor, the max tolerance is $\pm$ 5%.
