Circuit Analysis
Heat Dissipation
This circuit dissipates 1,001,937.5 watts of power as heat. In a resistor, all electrical energy at steady state converts to thermal energy. The actual component power rating needs headroom above this steady-state figure, but the specific derating depends on resistor type (carbon-comp, metal-film, wirewound each behave differently), ambient temperature, airflow or heat-sinking, and whether the load is continuous or pulsed. Check the resistor datasheet for the manufacturer-specific derating curve rather than applying a blanket margin.

Same Resistance at Different Voltages
Holding the resistance constant at 0.33Ω, here is how current and power scale with source voltage. This is a reference table, not a set of separate circuit scenarios: each row is the same resistor under a different applied voltage.
