There is no set range for these types of resistors. The biggest thing to keep in mind is the heat that is generated by the resistance and the applied voltage. The device should be large enough to dissipate this heat.

How should tubular wire wound resistors be mounted?
Vertically with an unobstructed bore.
Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.
What are photo resistors?
photo resistors, or light dependent resistors, are devices with variable resistance, that cahnges depending on how much light is hitting the device
What is your observation of resistors in parallel resistors?
RParallel = 1 / Summationi=1toN (1 / Ri)
Where are variable resistors found?
dimmer swithces for lights usually contain variable resistors
How should tubular wire wound resistors be wound?
Vertically with an unobstructed bore.
Give you the different types of resistors and what effect do they cause on the circuit?
Sure some resistors are wire wound chrome wire and as such will display an inductance characteristics
Are wire wound resistors used in parallel circuits?
Can be. Wire wound resistors might take more power, or offer better precision, or custom resistance values. Wherever, whenever those features are desirable, whether its a series or parallell circuit, a wire wound resistor might be used.
How should tubular wire wound resistors be mounted?
Vertically with an unobstructed bore.
How should tubular wire-wound resistors be mounted and why?
Vertically with an unobstructed bore.
What is the Difference between carbon composition and wire wound resistors' wattage-rating?

What are the different kinds of resistor?
There are various forms of resistors used for electronic circuits. You can divide it in mainly two basic types:Fixed Resistors: The resistors that come with two wires are listed in this resistor type. These kinds of resistors do not allow you to change the resistance.Variable Resistors: These types of resistors allow you to change the resistance using the resistance using the knob.Some other types or resistors are as following:Carbon Film ResistorMetal Oxide Film ResistorPrecision Metal Film ResistorWire Wound Resistor (WWR)Power Film ResistorPrecision Wire Wound ResistorHigh Power Wire Wound ResistorPhotocellLight Dependant Resistor (LDR)Voltage Dependant Resistor (VDR)

How is the resistor behaved at high frequency?
The major problem with resistors at high frequencies is for wire-wound (power) resistors, that will act as inductors at high frequencies. In addition, very small resistors, like chip resistors, can also exhibit capacitive effects. Special high frequency resistors are designed to offset these effect.[1]
What are specifications of resistor?
The resistance, the precision of that value, the thermal or electrical environment, the style of indicating these values. There are wire-wound resistors, cracked carbon resistors, carbon resistors and so on.
What is wirewood resistor?
Your close, It's called a Wire Wound resistor. There are several types of resistors in use for electronics, the type is determined by it's construction.A Carbon Comp. resistor is made up of .... you guessed it, carbon composition material which resists the flow of electrons, like blowing through different sized screens.Film resistors work the same way, but they use a semiconducting film instead of a formed solid material.Wire Wound resistors are actually 1 solid core wire wound around a ceramic rod.In audio applications, a wire wound is the least detrimental to the sound, then film and composition. Wire wounds are the most expensive and get very large with high wattage values.Here's a good link: http:/wwwzperiodzwelwynzhyphenzttzperiodzcozperiodzuk/pdf/application_notes/CCR_AN_Azperiodzpdf
How do carbon resistors differ from wirewound resistor?
the power is more evenly distributed in a carbon rod than a wire hi resistance wire wound can have 100s of feet of very fine wire very prone to heat failure solid carbon distributes the heat over the entire volume of the carbon carbon resistors are far better with higher voltages and resistances
