If a resistor only has three color bands, it has a tolerance of 20 percent. What would this mean for a resistor specified at 10,000 ohms?
A. It will fail, on average, on one out of five cycles, meaning its effective ohms is only 8,000
B. It will fail if more than 12,000 volts pass through it.
C. Its actual resistance, when measured, falls between 8 k and 12 k ohms.
D. It allows 8000 volts to pass through it.
