U can understand it fom dis tagline
BB ROY GREAT BRITAIN VERY GOOG WIFe
So WE HAVE
B=BLACK 0
B=BROWN 1
R=RED 2
O=ORANGE 3
Y=YELLOW 4
G=GREEN 5
B=BLUE 6
V=VOPLET 7
G=GRAY 8
W=WHITE 9
SILVER= +/-10%
GOLD +/-5%

We can get Resistance value from the color code (red, orange, orange, silver) is 23 (10^3) = 23000.

Here we are not consider the last color (tolerance-silver) , Because here not asking minimum or maximum current.

So current I = V/R = 50/23000 = 0.00217 = 2.2mA.

Here we can easyly memorize the colour code by using following sentence:.

B B ROY GREAT BRITAN VERY GOOD WIFE (silver, gold colours are no need to memorize, because first three colours enough to calculate value of resister).

B-Black-0
B-Brown-1
R-Red- 2
O-Orange-3
Y-Yellow-4
G-green-5
B-Blue- 6
V-Violet-7
G-Green-8
W-White-9
Silver--- 10%
Gold --- 20%

Givent that data:
voltage source=50 V
we have to find out the resistance value:
according to COLOR CODING FOR RESISTORS
B B R O Y G B V G W
=> VALUES ARE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
=> first 2 values are same but 3rd valus is multiple of 10 and lost word specifies the tolerance value.
i.e R=red orange orange silver(10%)
2 3 3
so, R=23*10^3
=> I=V/R
=50/23*10^3
=2.17mA
=2.2mA

(Color) 1st and 2nd Significant Multiplier

B - black - 0 1 1
B - boys - 1 10 10
R - rape - 2 100 100
O - our - 3 1000 1K
Y - young - 4 10000 10K
G - girl - 5 100000 100K
B - but - 6 1000000 1M
V - violeta - 7 10000000 10M
G - give - 8 100000000 100M
W - willingly - 9 1000000000 1T
Silver- - - - - 10% <---- Tolerance
Gold- - - - - - 20% <---- Tolerance

We have to add the tolerance or subtract?

Anyone please?

Himabindu said:   1 decade ago
If min or max. Current is not mentioned in the question. Last color is not considered. Is that right or not? please help me guys.

Pooja said:   1 decade ago
Thanks @Satish I m very clear colour code good explanation I understand better now but last orange not proper clear so please clear me last doubt.

Total resistance = 23000+/- 10%.
Voltage = 50.

Then I = V/R.
= 50/23000.
= 0.00217A .

= 0.00217*1000(due to we need mA) = 2.173 or 2.2mA (answer).
