Application +4 | -1

A resistor of

6 {k} \Omega

with tolerance

10 \%

and another resistance of

4 {k} \Omega

with tolerance

10 \%

are connected in series. The tolerance of the combination is about

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

10 \%

Option B (10 %) is correct because the percentage tolerance of resistors in series is calculated by summing the absolute errors and dividing by the total resistance.
