The Power Rating of a Resistor Determines the Minimum Power that it can Handle Safely.

The power rating of a resistor determines the minimum power that it can handle safely.

A. True
B. False

Answer: Option B 

"The power rating of a resistor determines the minimum power that it can handle safely" is a wrong statement

Solution: 

Energy consumption in a resistor is always in the form of heat energy. 

The power rating of a resistor indicates that, the maximum amount of heat energy (power consumption) it can withstand safely. 

If we supply more power than the rating, the resistor will damage.
