Home » Power Calculations » 4 » d When two 1000 ohm 5 watt resistors are connected in parallel, they can dissipate a maximum total power of: a. 40 watt b. 20 watt c. 10 watt d. Your answer "d" 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 |
