Power delivered by 10ohms resistor and 25volt?

The power dissipated by a resistor is E2/R .If the "25volt" is the potential difference (voltage) between the ends ofthe resistor, then the resistor dissipatesE2/R = (25)2/10 = 62.5 watts .That's quite a fair amount of power ... more than you could expect to dissipatefrom a typical carbon composition resistor. This particular resistor is somethinglike a heating coil in a toaster or a large acquarium, for example.


What is the function of a carbon pile resistor in an electrical circuit?

A carbon pile resistor is used in electrical circuits to control the amount of current flowing through the circuit by adjusting its resistance. This helps regulate the voltage and prevent damage to the components in the circuit.


What is a trimmer resistor?

A trimmer resistor usually called a trim pot is a small variable resistor it is used in circuits to do preset it is trimmed with a trimmer screwdriver it is made up with a round fiber disc with a layer of carbon with a wiper that run on the carbon layer to change the resistance it always have 3 connecting pins where the center one is connected to the wiper and the other two to opposite ends of the carbon strip.
