Basic question about resistors and capacitors

Jan 08, 2006 1 Replies

There are occasions in which a resistor or a capacitor of the exact value required by the project cannot be obtained.



My question is: =BFWhat happens if in a certain project a resistor to 1/2W instead of the 1/4W required by the project is installed



=BFWhat happens if in a certain project a capacitor to 50V is installed instead of 25V required by the project? The question does not refer to the value in farads.



It alters the general operation of the project?



Thanks in advance for any comment.



In both cases it'll be just fine since you're exceeding the required rating.
