🔍 Key Concepts

• Power rating of a resistor and what it represents • How parallel connections affect voltage and current across each resistor • Difference between total power in the circuit and power per component

💭 Think About

• If each resistor is rated at 10 watts, what does that rating actually limit: voltage, current, or power through that one resistor? • In a parallel circuit, what is the same across all resistors, and how does that affect how much power each one can safely dissipate? • When you combine identical components in parallel, how do you find the overall safe power handling of the combination?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of wattage rating (it is the maximum continuous power each resistor can safely dissipate). • Confirm how identical resistors in parallel share total current and power when each has the same resistance and rating. • Check that your final answer represents the sum of safe power ratings of all resistors, not just one of them.
