Question:

A 200 \(\Omega\) resistor has a certain color code. If one replaces the red color by green in the code, the new resistance will be :

Show Hint

200 ohm = red, black, brown (2, 0, multiplier 10). Red is the first band; green stands for 5.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Colour code values: black 0, brown 1, red 2, orange 3, yellow 4, green 5.
A resistor of 200 \(\Omega\) = \(20\times10^{1}\) \(\Omega\) has bands red (2), black (0), brown (multiplier \(10^1\)).
The only red band is the first digit band. Replace it by green (5): digits 5, 0 and multiplier \(10^1\).
New resistance \(= 50\times10 = 500\ \Omega\).
Answer: (1) \(500\ \Omega\)
