Question

A standard carbon resistor has a gold band to indicate + 5% tolerance. If its resistance is 3,500 , what are the upper and lower limits for its resistance? OA . 3495 - 3505 2 OB. 3300 Q - 3600 0 OC. 3325 N - 3675 OD 3450 - 35500​

Answer 1

C. 3325 Ω - 3675 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of 3500 Ω is ...

0.05 × 3500 = 175

The lower limit is this amount less than the nominal value:

3500 -175 = 3325

The upper limit is the nominal value plus the tolerance:

3500 +175 = 3675

The lower and upper limits are 3325 Ω and 3675 Ω, respectively.
