Description
A 47k ohms resistor with a power rating of 1/2 watt is an electronic component used to limit the flow of electric current in a circuit. Here are the key specifications for the resistor you’ve mentioned:
1. **Resistance (Ohms):** 47,000 ohms (47kΩ)
2. **Power Rating:** 1/2 watt (0.5W)
3. **Tolerance:** The tolerance is not specified in your request. Common tolerance values include 1%, 5%, and 10%. If not specified, it’s typical to assume a 5% tolerance.
4. **Physical Size:** The physical size of the resistor depends on its construction. Generally, higher wattage resistors are larger.
5. **Color Code:** Resistor color codes are used to indicate the resistance value and tolerance. The colors on the resistor bands would be used to determine these values. For a 47k ohms resistor, the color code might include colors like yellow, violet, orange, and a tolerance band (e.g., gold for 5%).
Please note that if the tolerance is critical for your application, you should check the actual color bands on the resistor or refer to the datasheet if available. The color code system is a standard way of representing resistor values, and you can find online calculators or charts to interpret the color bands.
