Thank you



PS: the ruler is in cm


I'm going to say 1 W. Others are 1/8 and 1/4.

says a 14mm long x 6mm diameter resistor is 2W, but that seems too high, and I think it's 1W. However I'm no expert.

** 1 watt, carbon film.

The 1 watt rating is based on a cool, free air environment.

Pure fantasy.
