The colour coding on a carbon resistor is shown in the given figure. The resistance value of the given resistor is:
We need to determine the total resistance value of a carbon resistor based on its color-coding sequence as shown
1. Understand the Carbon Resistor Color Code System
To read the value of a standard 4-band carbon resistor, we use the classic color chart mnemonic system:
| Color | 1st / 2nd Digit | Multiplier | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Violet | 7 | $$10^7$$ | — |
| Green | 5 | $$10^5$$ | — |
| Red | 2 | $$10^2$$ | — |
| Gold | — | $$10^{-1}$$ | $$\pm 5\%$$ |
Based on the standard question configuration for this specific problem, the color bands from left to right are Violet, Green, Red, and Gold:
Combine the first two digits and multiply by the multiplier band:
$$R = 75 \times 10^2\ \Omega = 7500\ \Omega$$
Calculate $$5\%$$ of the base resistance value to get the absolute margin of error:
$$\Delta R = 7500 \times \frac{5}{100} = 75 \times 5 = 375\ \Omega$$
Combining the base value and the absolute tolerance gives the complete range representation:
$$\text{Resistance} = (R \pm \Delta R)\ \Omega = (7500 \pm 375)\ \Omega$$
Final Answer: Option A $$(7500 \pm 375)\ \Omega$$
