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).

Easy to remember color codes BBROY GB VG W.

Let us consider BBROY as name and GB as gigabyte VG as very good AND W as last letter in English alphabetical is W (app.).

In this problem nobody taken Silver band +/-10 % Tolerance while calculating Ohmic value? if consider answer A is correct. Answer B does not satisfy here.

According to ohms law, I = V/R.

Given :

V = 50v.
R = red ,orange,orange,silver = 23 X 10^3 with 10% tolerance.
So, I = V/R = 50 /(23x10^3) = 2.2mA.

After calculating, I got the value of resistance 25300 max and 20700 min. So which value should I use for resistance- max or min? Please explain me.

Memorizing line is

"BBROY went to Great Britain to get Very Good Wife with Gold and Silver".

Capital letters represent color codes in sequence!

What about 5 colors resistor for example: red, Yello, grey, blue, violet?

Ans: 2486*10^7
Or
Ans: 248*10^6.

Please, anyone, explain.
