    Current Maximum
AI Thread Summary
The resistor with the color code red, red, orange, gold has a nominal resistance of 22,000 Ohms with a tolerance of ±5%. This results in a maximum resistance of 23,100 Ohms and a minimum resistance of 20,900 Ohms. Using Ohm's Law with a 16V source, the maximum current is calculated to be approximately 0.69mA, while the minimum current is around 0.76mA. The calculations confirm the expected current range based on the resistor's specifications. Overall, the approach to determine the current using V/R is accurate and effectively applied.

A resistor has the following color code red, red, orange, gold. Determine the maximum and minimum currents, in mA, you should expect to measure when a 16 V source is connect across the resistor.

I dnt no if this is right...
22000 Ohms +- 5%

22000 + 5%= 23100ohms--->23,1K MAX
22000 - 5%= 20900ohms--->20,9K MIN

Now i dnt no if the following is good. Since I am using a 16V source i have to Use ohms law?
and what i got for both is a

-maximum of 0.69mA
-Minimum of 0,76mA
 
Physics news on Phys.org
22000 Ohms +- 5%

Red = 2, so Red Red is 22.

Orange = 3, so the multipliyer is 1000 or 103,

and the nominal resistance is 22000 Ohms. or 22 kOhms.

the tolerance band is gold, so +/- 5%


Use V/R to get I, and min I = V/ max R.

This is useful - http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/gadgets/resistors/resistor.htm

so is this - http://www.csgnetwork.com/resistcolcalc.html
