A resistor with a black, black, and red color code has what resistance value?

To determine the resistance value of a resistor using its color code, we interpret the colors as follows: each color corresponds to a specific number. In this case, black is represented by the number 0, and red corresponds to the number 2.

The first two bands represent the significant digits, while the third band indicates the multiplier. For the resistor in question, the two black bands provide the significant digits: 0 and 0. The red band then indicates a multiplier of 100 (which is 10^2).

Combining these values, we calculate the resistance as follows:

Significant digits: 00 (from the black bands) Multiplier: x 100 (from the red band)

When you compute this, the final resistance value is 0 x 100, resulting in 0 ohms.

Since the actual answer aligns with a common multiple-choice format, it could be inferred that the original interpretation may have included an oversight that detected only the significant figures.

Therefore, understanding the resistor's color code in this specific context clarifies the unequivocal resistance value should be 0 ohms, not the initially suggested 200 ohms. The correct calculation reaffirms that attention to detail in color interpretation is essential in
