Two resistors, each of quoted value 10k
and tolerance 20%, are connected in series. The
equivalent resistance will have a value between
and 12k
and 20k
and 24k
and 24k
The answer is :- 3 Lowest value for each resistor is
10k
- 20% = 8k
. Highest value for each resistor is
10k
+ 20% = 12k
. When in series, lowest total resistance
= 8 + 8 = 16k
. When in series, highest total
resistance = 12 + 12 = 24k
