Question

A resistor's first three colour bands are brown, green and red. What is its value?

1) 1500 ohms
2) 250 ohms
3) 2000 ohms
4) 510 ohms

Answer 1

The value of the resistor with the color bands brown, green, and red is 1500 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the value of the resistor, we need to understand how to interpret the color bands on a resistor. The first band represents the first digit, the second band represents the second digit, and the third band represents the multiplier. The fourth band represents the tolerance, but it is not relevant to determining the value.

For the given resistor with brown, green, and red color bands, we have:

Brown: 1

Green: 5

Red: 100 (Multiplier)

Therefore, the value of the resistor is 15 x 100 = 1500 ohms.
