The colour sequence in a carbon resistor is red, brown, orange and silver. The resistance of the resistor is
A
$$21\times 10^3 \pm 10\%$$
C
$$21\times 10^3 \pm 5\%$$
D
$$12\times 10^3 \pm 5\%$$
Correct option is A. $$21\times 10^3 \pm 10\%$$
Red, brown, orange , silver red and brown represent the first two significant figures.
significant figure | Multiplier | Tolerance |
Red Brown | Orange | Silver |
$$2\quad \qquad 1$$ | $$10^3$$ | $$\pm 10\%$$ |
$$\therefore R=21\times 10^3 \pm 10\%$$
