If I wire several high power (say 10W) resistors in parallel, I can easily figure out what the total resistance value will be (1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn) with the total power "capacity" being the sum of the individual ratings, so 10x 10W resistors will give me 100W capacity, right?
Now, what happens if I wire two such blocks in series? Total resistance will be the sum of the two but what about power capacity? Will that double as well?
