The resistance, the precision of that value, the thermal or electrical environment, the style of indicating these values. There are wire-wound resistors, cracked carbon resistors, carbon resistors and so on.

Can you use a higher wattage resistor?

The ohms tells you the resistance; the wattage tells you how much heat energy it can handle. Not that any resistor ever lived up to its specifications -- I always needed some type of heat sink. Bottom line -- yes.


Does the 1978 xl250s require a 3.61 ohm resistor connected to low beam circuit?

Yes, the 1978 Honda XL250S requires a 3.61-ohm resistor connected to the low beam circuit. This resistor helps to regulate the current and protect the headlight bulb from overheating or burning out. It's important to ensure that the electrical connections are secure and that the resistor is of the correct rating for optimal performance. Always refer to the service manual for specific wiring diagrams and specifications.


How toi run 12v led from 24v supply?

To run a 12V LED from a 24V supply, you can use a resistor or a DC-DC buck converter. If using a resistor, calculate the appropriate resistance value to limit the current to the LED's specifications, ensuring it can handle the excess voltage drop. A buck converter is more efficient, converting the higher voltage down to 12V without significant power loss. Always ensure that the current drawn does not exceed the LED's rated specifications for safe operation.
