Chapter 3, Problem 30P
- What is the approximate increase in size from a 1 W to a 2 W carbon resistor?
- What is the approximate increase m size from a 1/2 W to a 2 W carbon resistor?
- In general, can we conclude that for the same type of resistor, an increase in wattage rating requires an increase in size (volume)? Is it almost a linear relationship? That is, does twice the wattage require an increase in size of
