A resistor has an indicated tolerance error of 10%. With a value of 1000 ohms, the minimum resistance the resistor may have is _________.
- A.
1,100 ohms
- B.
990 ohms
- C.
910 ohms
- D.
900 ohms
Correct Answer
D. 900 ohmsExplanation
The indicated tolerance error of 10% means that the actual resistance of the resistor can vary by 10% from the indicated value. Since the indicated value is 1000 ohms, the minimum resistance the resistor may have is 1000 ohms - (10% of 1000 ohms) = 1000 ohms - 100 ohms = 900 ohms.Rate this question:
