This depends on the tolerance rating of the resistor. There's 1, 2, 5, 10% tolerances. For tighter tolerances, you pay a premium - you can get tolerances as close as .1%. This is defined by one of the bands on the resistor. For a 10% tolerance, the maximum resistance of a 680 ohm resistor could be 748 ohms.

What is the largest value the resistor can be and still be in tolerance?

To determine the largest value a resistor can be while still being in tolerance, you need to know the resistor's nominal value and its tolerance percentage. For example, if a resistor has a nominal value of 100 ohms with a tolerance of 5%, the maximum allowable resistance would be 100 ohms + (5% of 100 ohms), which is 105 ohms. Thus, the largest value the resistor can be while remaining in tolerance is 105 ohms.


The rating of a resistor is always specified in terms of resistance and what maximum permissable dissipation value?

Wattage.


What is the relationship between Wattage and resistance of resistor?

There is no direct relationship.Power ('wattage') is a measure of the rate at which the resistor can dissipate energy; excessive power means that a resistor cannot dissipate energy fast enough to prevent its temperature becoming excessive -excessive enough to damage the resistor.As the rate at which a resistor can dissipate energy is determined by its physical size, a resistor's power rating(maximum continuous power it can handle without exceeding its rated temperature) depends on the physical size of the resistor.On the other hand, the resistance of a resistor is notaffected by its physical dimensions, as a resistor can be manufactured to any particular value of resistance for whatever physical size is necessary to achieve its rated power.If you know a resistor's rated power and its resistance, then you can calculate the maximum continuous current that resistor can handle without overheating (using the equation: power = current squared x resistance).

How does the Resistance and Wattage relate to maximum voltage of a wirewound resistor?

The power rating of a resistor is determined by its physical size. The greater its surface area, the better it can dissipate energy, so the higher its power rating. Knowing its power rating and its resistance will determine the maximum voltage that can be applied to it in order to ensure the resulting current doesn't cause the resistor to overheat. This can be determined by manipulating the equation, P = U2/R.

What is the effect on the resistance of a carbon composition resistor as the current flow through it increases?

As current flowing through carbin composition resistor increses then resistance will decrese as the function of resistance is to oppose the flow of current.....AnswerA resistor is termed a 'linear' or 'ohmic' device, which means its resistance stays constant over a wide range of current variation -in other words, it obeys Ohm's Law up to the maximum current is designed to handle. If this were not the case, then the resistor would not be suitable for many applications. The maximum current it is designed to carry, before its resistance changes beyond its tolerance, is determined by its physical size, as the larger its surface area, the more efficiently it can dissipate heat.
