Determining the approximate increase in size


Response to the following problem :

a. What is the approximate increase in size from a 1-W to a 2-W carbon resistor?

b. What is the approximate increase in size from a 1/2-W to a 2-W carbon resistor?

c. In general, can we conclude that for the same type of resistor, an increase in wattage rating requires an increase in size (volume)? Is it almost a linear relationship? That is, does twice the wattage require an increase in size of 2:1?
