Two numbers of 500 ohms one watt resistors are connected in parallel. Their combined resistance and wattage rating will be
- A. 250 ohms, 1 watt
- B. 250 ohms, 2 watts
- C. 1000 ohms, 2 watts
- D. 500 ohms, 2 watts
Answer: B. 250 ohms, 2 watts
Explanation: In parallel: Req = 500/2 = 250 Ω. Total power rating is the sum: 1 W + 1 W = 2 W.
