For example I have a resistor that has a value of 1K +/-5% and measures at 990 ohms. Does tolerance mean the resistance will stay permanently at 990 ohms or vary between 950 and 1050?
The value can be anywhere between 990-5% and 990+5% but will not vary (in practice it will vary, as every component does, but very little with, for example, temperature) ..
For example, if you measure a real resistor and it’s resistance is 965Ω – it still belongs to 990Ω-/+5%, but the value stays at 965 – that’s it ..
