Question

A carbon resistor is shown in the figure. Using color code, write the value of the resistance.

Answer 1

The given carbon resistor has a 3-color band. The given colors are Green, Violet, and Red. For the first and second colored bands, the values for Green are 5 and Violet is 7. The third band is the multiplier band and the color-code for Red is 100.

Hence the value of the resistance is,  R = 57 × 10² = 5700 Ω
