Evening Wayne, After further research I discovered that electrons do change speed. I'll blame my lack of knowledge on public education.

I understood this to mean, "The Resistance Changes" First, I would think it to be the other way around. The higher the voltage the higher the resistance depending on quantities. Likewise, with high currents, the electrons might be congested in the wire. Of course resistors heat up and wire heats up, under some conditions. Conductor derateing and voltage drop enters in. and dangers can exist. But that is another book. If these are sized so that the capacity is only 5, 10, maybe 50 %, that is another situation, When the capacity is reached, or nearly so, 80, 90, 0r 100 %, of course things change If the resistor is the wrong physical size, it will certainly change just before self destruction, and change drastically upon self destruction. This would all be easy to prove or disprove, by solving any circuit, 6 volts applied, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, 100, or whatever. And of course using instrumentation and calculation. I have an interesting resistor array I built for a specific purpose Using several large resistors, I mounted them to a 2 ft square aluminum plate, 1/4 inch thick. I knew it would get hot. The resistors would glow cherry red for a timed test without destruction. 100 amps 1200 watts. The array will fry an egg, heat a bowl of soup, and boil a pot of coffee, not that this was the purpose. I have seen resistor arrays that covered a complete wall. I am not sure what Mike was trying to do, maybe give us a headache or see what kind of mess we would make, working on the puzzle he created. Either way, ........ He did a good job. <grin> Once Confused, ........... always confused, it seems. Likely I have been working on the wrong thing.
