If a resistor has the color combination of yellow-violet-red-gold, what is the range of acceptable values of resistance

Resistance =  4465 Ω - 4935 Ω

Explanation:

The color bands in a four band resistors are read as follows:

Band 1: 1st digit of Resistance

Band 2: 2nd digit of Resistance

Band 3: Multiplier Value

Band 4: Tolerance

Now interpreting our code:

Band 1 (Yellow) = 4

Band 2 (Violet) = 7

Band 3 (Red) = 10²

Band 4 (Gold) = ±5%

Therefore,

Resistance = 47 x 10² Ω ± 5%

Resistance = 4700 Ω ± 5%

So, the range can be calculated as:

Lower Limit = 4700 Ω - (0.05)(4700 Ω)

Lower Limit = 4700 Ω - 235 Ω

Lower Limit = 4465 Ω

No, for upper limit:

Upper Limit = 4700 Ω + (0.05)(4700 Ω)

Upper Limit = 4700 Ω + 235 Ω

Upper Limit = 4935 Ω

Thus, the acceptable range of resistance will be:

Resistance =  4465 Ω - 4935 Ω
