Which resistor will consume more power?

Separately they will consume the same power. But If they are connected in series then the higher resistor will draw more power. Cause the current will be the same for both and if multiplied with bigger parameter then it will be bigger too. For parallel the calculation is different.

Does more resistance mean more power?

The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases.

Why the resistor load has higher wattage?

The resistor power rating is rated in watts, which are units of power. Hence it is also termed as wattage. Generally, larger the resistor more power it can handle. As the wattage of the resistor increases cost also increases.

Why do resistors consume energy faster in series or parallel?

Strategy and Solution for (c) Vp = V − V1 = 12.0 V − 2.35 V = 9.65 V. Now the current I2 through resistance R2 is found using Ohm’s law: I2=VpR2=9.65 V6.00 Ω=1.61A I 2 = V p R 2 = 9.65 V 6.00 Ω = 1.61 A .

Can a resistor be less than 1 ohm?

As a rule of thumb, it’s rare to see a resistor less than 1 Ohm. Remember that measuring resistance is not perfect. Temperature can affect the reading a lot.

Does resistance consume power?

Resistors consume power and dissipate that power by converting it to heat (and sometimes light).

Does higher resistance mean less power?

The load having low resistance will consume more power and the load having greater resistance will consume less power.

When a resistor increases its physical size which one will increase power or resistance?

Generally, larger the resistor more power it can handle. As the wattage of the resistor increases cost also increases. Resistors generally start from 1/8th watt to many kilo watts. Resistor wattage can be noticed by seeing the size of the resistor.
