Home » Power Calculations » 4 » a When two 1000 ohm 5 watt resistors are connected in parallel, they can dissipate a maximum total power of: a. b. 20 watt c. 10 watt d. 5 watt Your answer "a" is not correct. "c" is the right answer. Same resistance values, same voltage, so same power dissipated in each making a total of 10 watts. Next |
