The maximum power rating of a `20 Omega` resistor is 2.0 kW. [That is, this is the maximum power the resistor can dissipate (as heat) without melting or changing in some other undersirable way]. Would you connect this resistor directly across a 300 V d.c. source of negligible internal resistance ? Explain your answer.
