A resistance having rating 10 ohms, 10 W is likely to be a__________?

Correct answer: C. wire wound resistor

  • A. metallic resistor
  • B. carbon resistor
  • C. wire wound resistor
  • D. variable resistor

Explanation

A 10 ohm, 10 watt resistor must dissipate substantial power, for which wire-wound construction is more suitable than a typical carbon resistor. Wire winding also provides good heat handling and relatively high power ratings.
