Question

Fixed, Color Code Resistors The fixed, color-coded resistors that are available to us in this laboratory have the standard E24 design values. With this standard, there are 24 design values in every decade. Figure 5 shows the design values for the decade 100 to 10000. These resistors have tolerances of t5%. For example, when the design value is 100 S2, the actual value should lie somewhere between 95 and 105 n. All of our fixed resistors are able to dissipate up to watt ofelectrical power. (Beyond watt, damage may occur to the resistor.) E24 Resistor Values 1000 600 510 500 470 150 160 100 100 110 120 130 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Position Figure 5: Standard E24 resistor values. In every decade, there are 24 resistance values, spaced (approximately) logarithmically. For example, for the decade 1000 to 1000 SQ, the resistor values are as shown in the above chart. As a second example, for the decade l k to 10 k Q, the resistor values are 10 times those shown above.

Explanation / Answer

a)..For 2.4kohm Resistor--

1st band is Red(2),

2nd band is Yellow(4),

3rd band is Red(multiplier(100))

4rth band is Gold (+-5 % tolerance).

Minimum value =2.28kohm

Maximum value =2.52kohm.

b)..For 6.8kohm Resistor--

1st band is Blue(6),

2nd band is Gray(8),

3rd band is Red(multiplier(100))

4rth band is Gold (+-5 % tolerance).

Minimum value =6.46kohm

Maximum value =7.14kohm.

c)..For 24kohm Resistor--

1st band is Red(2),

2nd band is Yellow(4),

3rd band is Orange(multiplier(1000))

4rth band is Gold (+-5 % tolerance).

Minimum value =22.8kohm

Maximum value =25.2kohm.

d)..For 68kohm Resistor--

1st band is Blue(6),

2nd band is Gray(8),

3rd band is Orange(multiplier(1000))

4rth band is Gold (+-5 % tolerance).

Minimum value =64.6kohm

Maximum value =71.4kohm.
