#111013 - It's all about the power Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Hi Chitraker (and you don't even want to know how that would sound if I tried to pronounce it).
Plot a graph of the power dissipated across a resistor as a function of resistance (at a fixed voltage). You get nice straight lines on a log/log graph, with a negative slope. By the time you get up to 1E6 Ohms, your power dissipation is 12mW at 110V, 48mW at 220V and under 200mW at 440V. And with a resistor (ideally with no reactive components to your total impedance) you don't have to worry about phase shifts. |
