Re: Loudspeaker to Line Level Pad



 

Two resistors wired in series will have the same amount of current flowing through them.  V=I*R (Voltage=Current*Resistance).  Since R is higher on the bigger resistor, it also has a correspondingly larger voltage drop across it.  P=I*V (Power=Current*Voltage) or substituting in the formula from V above, P=I^2*R.  Thus the bigger resistor will dissipate more power.
