A circuit board manufacturer rejects a 100-ohm resistor if its measured resistance is 0.15 ohm more than or less than 100 ohms. Resistors A and B are rejected. Resistor A's resistance differs from 100 ohms by 0.15 ohm. Resistor B's resistance
differs from 100 ohms by -0.78 ohm. How do the resistances of these two resistors compare? Explain.

Respuesta :

A resistor is an electronic component that has the ability to resist the flow of current through a section or path of a circuit. The values of the resistors are:

  • Resistor A = 99.85 Ohms
  • Resistor B = 99.22 Ohms

The resistances of resistors A and B differ in the sense that A is within the acceptable range, while that of B is beyond the acceptable range.

A circuit board is a component on which all other electronic components are fixed in an electronic device. Some of the components are resistors, capacitors, inductors, integrated circuits, etc.

A resistor is an electronic component that has the ability to resist the flow of current through a section or path of a circuit. These resistors have a range known as tolerance.

The tolerance of a resistor is the range to which the resistance of the resistor is acceptable. It is always in addition to the main value of a resistor.

In the given question, the manufacturer rejects a resistor, not in the range of 100± 0.15 Ohms.

So that;

Lower limit = 99.85 Ohms

Higher limit = 100.15 Ohms

Given that;

resistor A's resistance differs from 100 ohms by 0.15 ohms = 100 - 0.15

                                                        = 99.85 Ohms

resistor B's resistance differs from 100 ohms by -0.78 ohm = 100 - 0.78

                                                        = 99.22 Ohms

Therefore, the resistances of resistors A and B differ in the sense that A is within the acceptable range, while that of B is beyond the acceptable range.
