Good job.

But I still have the question.

Green = 5.
Green = 8.

Which is right and why we use 2 values?

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

Resistor values can be known by the colour band.
0 black
1 blue
2 red
3 orange
4 yellow
5 green
6 blue
7 violet
8 grey
9 white

The resistor value is given by 1st 3 bands.
Start from left most band, 3rd value is a power of 10.

Ans: red(2), orange(3), orange(10^3).
So, the value becomes 23 * 10^3.

If resistor will contain 5 color bands then how can we able to determine it's value?

Prakash pritam said:   9 years ago
I think in this question we are assuming the minimum value of resistance, Hence the value of resistance is 23 * 10^3 - 10% = 22.7 * 10^3,
Now, V/R = I,
=> 50/22.7 * 10^3 = 2.20 mA.

23 * 10^3 (this is for red, orange, orange) then what about silver?

Thanks for all the explanation, now I understand this problem.

Colour code is like BBROYGBVGW.

We used say as: BB Roy Great Britain Very Good Wife

Black---> 0 1 1
Brown---> 1 1 1 10
Red ---> 2 2 2 100
Orange -->3 3 3 1,000
Yellow---> 4 4 4 10,000
Green---> 5 5 5 100,000
Blue ---> 6 6 6 1,000,000
Violet---> 7 7 10,000,000
Gray ---> 8 8 100,000,000
White --->9 9 1,000,000,000
None--->20%
Silver--->10%
Gold--->5%

SO RED is 2 orange 3 and third orange 10 to the power of that value so 10000.

So R = 23000.
as we know that v = IR.
I = V/R.
= 50/23000,
= 2.2mA.

Very well explained, thanks @Sathish.

Which is the correct value of gold 20% or 5%?

Please clear it.
