1) I would like to connect a 10 V source to a 502 resistive load. a. How much power will be dissipated by this load? b. I do not have any 50 2 resistors. All I have is a bucket full of red- black-brown-gold banded resistors, all with ¼ W maximum power ratings. How can I combine those resistors to create a 50 Q load capable of dissipating the power being delivered? (There are infinitely many answers to this question, but try to come up with a solution that uses as few resistors as possible, but enough to safely dissipate the power.)

1) I would like to connect a 10 V source to a 502 resistive load.
a. How much power will be dissipated by this load?
b. I do not have any 50 2 resistors. All I have is a bucket full of red-
black-brown-gold banded resistors, all with ¼ W maximum power
ratings. How can I combine those resistors to create a 50 Q load
capable of dissipating the power being delivered?
