Lesson: Chapter 19 — Current Electricity

19.6. Resistors 5 of 7

Question 5

The fourth band of a resistor is silver. What is its tolerance?

The right answer is the one marked above.

± 10%. Silver in the tolerance band means the value may vary by ten per cent either way.

Gold is ± 5% and no fourth band at all means ± 20%, which is the loosest of them.

Answer the question to continue.
