I know how the figure the resistance part but does the effective wattage rating go up when you place resistors in parallel?
In other words, if I needed a 1 watt resistor could I parallel 2, 1/2 watt resistors and be ok from the wattage rating standpoint? (as long as the resistance was equivalent of course)
