| On rare occasion you will find 1/4 watt resistors in places such as a grid biasing resistor on the 1st audio amp tube. These are the same thickness as a dry grain of rice. Otherwise, as Mark said, you don't often find resistors smaller than 1/2 watt. 1/2 watt resistors are usually about 3/16 inches in diameter. Radio shack sells both types of resistors. The 1/2 watt variety are more often attached to cards, and the 1/4 watt variety I usually find in their "assorted bag of resistors," though not every store sells the same thing. I have seen 1/4 watt resistors on cards on occasion. Thomas |
