NEET 2020 Physics Resistors and Color Code MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Easy-Class 12
The color code of a resistance is given below :

A
4.7 kΩ, 5%
B
470 Ω, 5%
C
470 kΩ, 5%
D
4.7 kΩ, 10%
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The color code for a resistor typically consists of three bands that indicate the significant digits and a multiplier, followed by a tolerance band. In this case, the first two bands represent the digits '4' and '7', giving us '47', and the third band is a multiplier of '1' (10^1), resulting in a total resistance of 470 Ω. The tolerance of 5% indicates the permissible variation in resistance, confirming that option (B) is correct.
