proper wattage for a resistor?

Electronics does demand precision.

mah = ??
ma = ??
mA = milliamperes or thousandths of an amp
mAh = Rated capacity of a battery as a function of current times time. IE, 500mAh would mean that you can draw 500mA for one hour and then the battery is effectively empty.

MA = Megaamperes or millions of amperes
