Chapter 15.7, Problem 22CC
Create a structure array named Resistors containing data on three resistors, including fields for Value, Power, Composition, and Tolerance. The three resistors should have the following specifications (enter numeric values only for Value, Power, and Tolerance, not the units):
• 100,000 ohms, ¼ watt, Metal Film, 0.1%
• 2,200,000 ohms, ½ watt, Carbon, 5%
• 15 ohms, 50 watts, Wire Wound, 10%
