How does using a larger wattage resistor make it run cooler when the exact same wattage will be dissipated in it based on the usage?
For a given wattage being dissipated, x amount of heat is being dispensed thoughout the entire mass of the resistor. The greater the mass, the lower the temperature of a unit volume of that mass. Ergo, a larger mass runs cooler. Er, at least that's my hillbilly take on it.
