1. A resistor is coded as Grey, Red, Gold, Gold. Convert this color code.

8.2Ù, 5%

2. In Question 1, what does the 4th band (Gold) represent. Provide the definition and
illustrate what it means for the resistor in Question 1.

Tolerance - Maximum % deviation from color coded value.

8.2Ù ± 5% = 8.2Ù ± 0.41Ù = 7.79Ù to 8.61Ù.

The manufacturers guarantee that resistors color coded: Grey, Red, Gold, Gold; will
have a measured value between 7.79Ù and 8.61Ù.

3. Generate the color code for the following resistors:

4.7 MÙ, 10% Yellow, Violet, Green, Silver 4,700,000Ù

3.9 kÙ, 20% Orange, White, Red, No Color 3,900Ù

4. Complete the following table by converting as specified.

780 mÙ 0.000,78 kÙ 10-3 to 103 -3 - 3 = -6

56 ìF 56,000,000 pF 10-6 to 10-12 -6 - (-12) = 6

5. A battery with an EMF of 1.5V causes a current of 6mA to flow through a resistor.
