Question

Ceramic disk capacitors may also be color-coded as in the examples shown in Figure 15. Table 4 lists the values that correspond to the color markings on these capacitors. The values listed in the table are in picofarads.

Which of the following options correctly represents the value of a ceramic disk capacitor with a color code matching a 47 picofarads capacitor?

Option 1: 4.7 pF
Option 2: 47 pF
Option 3: 470 pF
Option 4: 4,700 pF

Answer 1

The correct representation for a ceramic disk capacitor that matches the value of 47 picofarads (pF) is Option 2: 47 pF.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of a ceramic disk capacitor with a color code matching a 47 picofarads (pF) capacitor would be correctly represented by Option 2: 47 pF. Capacitors are electronic components used to store electrical charge, and their capacitance values are often labeled in picofarads (pF), which is 10-12 farads (F), microfarads (µF), which is 10-6 farads (F), and millifarads (mF), which is 10-3 farads (F). Since the value given is 47 pF, this matches directly to Option 2 without any modifications or conversions needed.
