Hi
I am new to electronics and i just want to get a few things clear in my head.
If i have a simple circuit made up of a 9v battery and a 10 ohm resistor with a power rating 1/4 watt, am i right in saying the resistor would be damaged after a shortish time.
From what i have learned so far
current would be 9v / 10 ohms = 0.9 amps.
0.9 amps * 9 volts = 8.1 watts ,which is too much for the resistor
Have i got this right?
Thanks Mark S.
