is directly proportional to its length, ie. R = Leg. a

3. Colour Code of Carbon Resistances
‘The resistance, having high values are used in different
electrical and electronic circuits. They are generally made
up of carbon. To know the value of resistance colour code
is used. These code are printed in form of set of rings or
strips. By reading the values of colour bands, we can
estimate the value of resistance.
52 > JANUARY 2017 » PHYSICS SPECTRUM
‘The carbon resistance has normally four coloured rings or
strips say A, B,C and D as shown in following figure.
Colour band A and B Ag cD
indicate the first two
significant figures of
resistance in ohm, while the
C band gives the decimal multiplier, ie, the number of zeros
that follows the two significant figures A and B. Last band (D
band) indicates the tolerance in percent about the indicated
value or in other word it represents the percentage accuracy of
the indicated value.
‘The tolerance in the case of gold is + 5% and in silver is,
© 10% Ifonly three bands are marked on carbon resistance,
then it indicate a tolerance of 20%, The following table gives
the colour code for carbon resistance

‘The voltage across the terminals of a cell when it is

potential difference or terminal voltage. Potential
difference is equal to the product of current and
resistance of that given part, ie. V =iR.

current through it is called internal resistance ofthe cell.
‘The internal resistance of a cell depends on the distance
between electrodes (r « d), area of electrodes [r « (1/.A)]
and nature, concentration (r® C) and temperature of
