Final answer:
The resistor with color bands of orange, yellow, red, and silver should have a value of 3400 ohms, which is derived by interpreting the color bands according to the resistor color code. The first two bands indicate the digits, and the third band is the multiplier. However, this value does not match any of the provided answer options.
Step-by-step explanation:
A resistor with a color banding of orange (3), yellow (4), red (2), and silver has a value derived through the color coding system for resistors. Here, the first two colors represent the first two significant digits of the resistor's value, the third color is the multiplier, and the fourth color is the tolerance of the resistor.
For the given colors:
- Orange represents the digit 3.
- Yellow represents the digit 4.
- Red as a multiplier corresponds to 102 (or 100).
- Silver as a tolerance indicates ±5%.
Therefore, the first two digits (34) combined with the multiplier (100) result in a resistance value of 3400 ohms, and not any of the options provided (A. 324 ohms, B. 432 ohms, C. 24 ohms, D. 34 ohms), which suggests there may be an error in the options presented.
