Question

The color code on a resistor in a circuit indicates a value of R = 156,000Ω

Express in KΩ (Kilo ohms or 103)

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given

Value of resistance R = 156,000 Ω 

Given resistance can be written as 156×1000Ω = 156×103 Ω 

 

Step 2

Since, 1 kΩ = 1000 Ω 

Using unitary method we have,

1 Ω = 1 kΩ1000 multiplying 156000 on both sides we get156000 Ω = 1560001kΩ1000 = 156 kΩ 

Thus, 156000 = 156 kΩ
