Question

1. a resistor has color bands of orange, blue, yellow, and gold. what is the tolerance of this resistor?

10%
1%
15%
5%

Explanation:

Identify the given color bands

Using the Resistor Applications knowledge point
The resistor has four color bands: orange, blue, yellow, and gold.

Determine the tolerance band

The fourth band on a standard four-band resistor represents the tolerance. Here, the fourth band is gold.

Map gold to its tolerance value

A gold tolerance band corresponds to a tolerance of \(\pm 5\%\).

Answer:

• 10%
• 1%
• 15%
• 5% (Correct answer)
