Home » Power Calculations » 3 » a When two 500 ohm 1 watt resistors are connected in series, the maximum total power that can be dissipated by both resistors is: a. b. 2 watt c. 1 watt d. 1/2 watt Your answer "a" is not correct. "b" is the right answer. Same resistance value, same current, so same power dissipated in each making a total of 2 watts. Next |
