I like the idea
Simple is great!
I wasn't aware that 4 1 ohm resistors in parallel would result in .25
That's a part of ohm's law that I did not know.
Is the current caring capacity of the four resistors shared?
So if I figured 7 volts (to be on the safe side) x 25 amps or 175 watts can that be further divided by 4 to 43.75 watts.
Seems to me a lot of the high wattage resistors are wire wound.
Is there one type of construction that is better or worse?
In an earlier post there was concern about resistor value changing as it heated up.
What do you think?
