He power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can

The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too great a rise in temperature and hence damage to the resistor.

 

 

 

If the power rating of a 15kΩ resistor is 5.0 W, what is the maximum allowable potential difference across the terminals of the resistor?
