Question

What is the within-tolerance range for a 50.0 k?

Answer 1

Tolerance range for a 50 * 10³ $\Omega$ $\pm$ 5% resistor is,

Now,

5% of 50 * 10³ is (50000 * 5/100) = 2500

The tolerance range is,

(50000 $\pm$ 2500) $\Omega$   

That is,

The tolerance range for the given resistor is 47500 $\Omega$ - 52500 $\Omega$

Answer is,

A) 47.5 k $\Omega$ to 52.5 k $\Omega$
