Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same:
Capacitor Colour Code: Capacitor values as written on small capacitors are sometimes misleading. Letters like p (pico) or n (nano) are used in place of the decimal point to identify its position and the value of the capacitor.
For example, a capacitor labelled as n33 = 0.33nF, 8n2 = 8.2nF, 22n = 47nF and so on.
Sometimes capacitors are marked with the capital letter K to signify a value of Kilo pico-Farads. As for example, a capacitor with the markings of 100K would be 1000 × 100 pF = 100 Kpf = 100 nF. Sometimes, a three letter code consists of the two value digits and a multiplier. For example, the digits 471 = 47 × 10 = 470 pF, 332 = 33 × 100 = 3300 pf.
To reduce these confusions an International colour coding scheme was developed almost same as that of resistance colour code.
The value obtained from colour code is in pf.
