What will happen when two resistors with different wattage rating will be connected series?

Resistance wise, the rated wattages are immaterial.
When calculating the amount of power the two of them would be able to dissipate, (or the maximum current) you would have to use V=IR and P=VI to work out which resistor would run into it's wattage rating first.

What will happen if resistors are connected in DC motor?
The value and kind of resistors, connected in series or paralell, type of dc motor, what is the purpose, etc.
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
What if the wattage capacity is thirty four?
It can happen. So what?
What happen to the voltage across each resistor when all of the resistors are doubled?
Nothing. But the current is halved.
Your bug-zapper does not work at all three weeks old what happen?
If it has resistors check those first.
What will happen to lights connected in parallel when of the lights is busted?
Nothing will happen to the rest of the lights if they are connected in paralell. If they are connected in series when one light is broken all of the lights go out.
What would happen to the power dissipated in the voltage divider?
'Power dissipation' in a voltage divider describes the rate at which energy is transferred from the resistors to the surrounding atmosphere through heat transfer, due to the work done on the resistors by the current flowing through them. If the work done on the resistors causes their temperature to increase faster than heat transfer takes place (a function of the surface area of the resistors), then they will overheat and, possibly, burn out.
What will happen to an ammeter reading if the resistors are connected in parallel?
You would be drawing more current. It would be the same as adding more load to the circuit in a vehicle, say more lights. The lights would just be seen as more load (a resistive load in the case of incandescent lights). Add more lights (resistors) and more current is needed. The ammeter would indicate a higher current draw.
What happen when 2 different current source are connected in series connection with a resistance?
It is not recommended because one or other current source will be damaged by excessive voltage.
What will happen when you swap a plus 5 volt with a minus 5 volt?
Nothing it will be the same cause your just swapping them around put if connected a different situation
When I connected my ipod to the internet it screwed up my computer why did this happen and is there a way to prevent it?
Maybe your wi fi is not connected properly or its connected to lots of sources.
What will happen if transformer are connected to dc supply?
It will get core saturation
