I know power rating means the power an element can handle.
For example, if a 2-ohm resistor has power rating of 1W, then a current of 1A yields V=2 V, and P = 2*1=2 W. 2 W > 1W, so the resistor will be damaged and overheated.
Does power dissipation mean the same thing?
I personally think so, but would like to have more confirmation.
Thanks!
