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

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.

The power of resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too rise in temperature. The power rating of a 15 kOmega resistor is 5.0 W .

(a) Two heater coils made of the same material are connected in paralled across the mains. The length of diameter of one the coil is triple that of other. Which of these will produce more heat? (b) Three equal resistors connected in series across a source of emf together dissipated 10 Watt of power. What would be the power disspated if the same resistors are connected in parallel across the same source of emf? Two resistor R_(1) and R_(2) may be connect either in series or in parellel across a battery of zero internal resistance. it is required that joule heating for the parallel combination be four times than for series combination. if R_(1)= 100 Omega find R_(2) (d) The three resistance A, B and C have values 3R, 6R and R respectively.
