(iv) If the circuit formed is switched ON for 3minutes, what will be the amount of current flowing through the circuit? (b) What is the accuracy of a measurement of 26.5gm taken as against 25gm? (c) State the types of resistor colour band in use and hence determine the colours of the following resistors: (i) K39±10%; (ii) M56±1%; (iii) 3K9±10%; (iv)120K±2% (v) 8R8±10%
