Step 1
For the first resistor, the ideal value is 9460 and the actual value is 10k. The tolerance is 5%. To determine if it is in tolerance, we need to calculate the acceptable range of values within the tolerance. The acceptable range for a 5% tolerance is calculated Show more…

Using the colored bands on the two resistors at your table, you determine that the two resistances of the resistors are 200 ohms with 5% tolerance and 100 ohms with a 20% tolerance. What would you expect the equivalent resistance of the two resistors to be (including the uncertainty) if they are connected in series?

3. For each of the three resistor values you are using, note the tolerance rating. Tolerance is a percent rating, showing how much the actual resistance could vary from the labeled value. This value is labeled on the resistor or indicated with a color code. Calculate the range of resistance values that fall in this tolerance range.
