If you are only given 1 kilo ohms resistors with 0.5 watt power rating how can you construct a resistive load of 1 kilo ohms with 1 watt power rating?

Well...you can't. Not a load with an exact 1 watt power rating. But if you can live with a 2-watt power rating (in a circuit that would be yes--it's called derating and you do it for added life, or because you've already got the parts) you'd connect two resistors in series and set that aside, connect two more resistors in series, then connect the two series networks in parallel. Each series network is rated at 2 kilohms; paralleling the two networks brings you back down to 1 kilohm.

Does more current flow through a parallel circuit than a series circuit?
Two resistors in parallel are equivalent to a single component with a lower resistance than either of the pair. Two resistors in series are equivalent to a single component with a resistance equal to the sum of the pair, therefore a higher resistance. For a given potential difference, more current in total will flow through two resistors in parallel than through the same resistors in series.
What is the equivalent resistance through the entire circuit?
The equivalent resistance is the overall effect all of the resistances in a circuit has. Put another way, it is the value a single resistor in a circuit would have to be in order to have the same effect as all of the resistors resistors combined in a given circuit.
How fast does an F5 tornado move?
There is no given forward speed for a tornado of any rating. Like most tornadoes, an F5 can be anywhere from stationary to moving at 70 mph. Wind speeds inside an EF5 tornado (essentially the same rating with corrected wind speeds) are in excess of 200 mph.
What happens to the current through a series circuit as more resistors are added in series?
If the bulbs are in a series circuit the voltage drops at each bulb drops as additional bulbs are added. In a parallel circuit the voltage is constant no matter how many bulbs are added.
What does Electrical energy turn into?
It turns into mechanical energy-a mass of air is being pushed through the fan so the air molecules are being given kinetic energy (I'm saying mechanical energy includes kinetic energy)
Why are resistors called resistors?
Resistors have resisting power(resists the electric power).Due to having the resistive property, the name resistor is given to such electrical device.

How are current ratings given to a resistor?
Resistors are not usually given 'current ratings' but, rather, 'power ratings' expressed in submultiples of the watt. It is then up to the user to calculate the safe maximum operating current for a particular resistor, by manipulating the equation: P = I2 R.Since a power rating is dependent upon the resistor's ability to dissipate energy by heat transfer, the actual power rating is dependent upon the surface area and, hence, the physical size of the resistor. So you will find that resistors come in a variety of physical sizes for any given resistance value.Unfortunately, power ratings are not indicated through colour codes, etc., so you will have to either specify its power rating when you purchase a resistor, or match your existing resistor against a scale-drawing to determine its power rating.

What does resistro do?
resistors is a most common electronic component and is used to control the voltage and current in a electronic circuit. resistors is inversely proportional to amount of power supplied,given by (power= voltage *current).
