🔍 Key Concepts

• Resistor color code bands and what each band represents (1st digit, 2nd digit, multiplier, tolerance). • From the chart: which colors are used only for tolerance (right-hand band) and what percentages they stand for. • How to read the fourth band (silver in this problem) to determine resistance tolerance.

💭 Think About

• Look at the table in the illustration and locate the row for silver; focus on the tolerance column, not the digit or multiplier columns. • Confirm that on a 4-band resistor, the last band is always the tolerance band—so only that color determines the answer here. • Compare the tolerance value for silver with the four percentage options given in the answers.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you’re reading the tolerance (percent) column for silver, not the multiplier column. • Verify that you’re using the fourth band (silver), not red, violet, or brown, to decide the tolerance. • Confirm that the tolerance percentage you find for silver exactly matches one of the multiple‑choice options before choosing.
