Very Newbish Question

[dome406]

I am building a set of 3-way loudspeaker (from a book) ad it says to us 47K§Ù resistors when i go onto the website to purchase them theyonly seem to have 47K resistors. Are these the same?

(sorry if its very newbish)

Thanks

47K is very high for a loudspeaker resistor. Where does it go? In the crossover?
47K means 47000 Ohms, the "K" means Kilo. I don't understand the characters after the K in your description. Read the book again, then maybe you'll have a better idea.

The forum didnt display the 47Kohm symbol. The speakers three way active crossover with a filter correction network.

Thanks

In that case, they are the same.
I think that the forum should be able to display Greek symbols, because they are used so frequently in electronics, but I expect it's down to the software it uses.

I think that the short answer to your original question is "yes."

A 47K or 47k resistor is the same as a 47Kohm resistor, the "ohm" or ohm symbol (greek capital omega) is just sort of implied. Plus, as you found out in your original post, sometimes the greek letters don't make it through the internet well, another reason why people leave them out.
