Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

Two resistances in series has the form of

Rs= C1 + C2

Two resistances is parallel has the form of

Rp = (C1 *C2)/(C1 + C2)

The plan is to first of all find C1*C2 and use this information and C1 + C2 to find the individual resistances.

Givens

Rs = 36 ohms

Rp = 8 ohms

Solution

Rp = C1 * C2/(C1 + C2)

Rp = 8 ohms

C1 + C2 = 36 ohms

8 =    C1*C2 / 36                          Multiply by 36

8* 36 = C1*C2

C1*C2 = 288

Use Rs to solve for C1

  • C1 + C2 = 36
  • C1 = 36 - C2

(36 - C2) * C2 = 288

36*C2 - C2^2 =288                    Multiply by - 1

-36C2 + C2^2 = -288                 Add 288 to both sides

C2^2 - 36C2 + 288= 0               Factor this equation

(C2 - 12)(C2 - 24)

C2 - 12 = 0

C2 = 12

C2 - 24 = 0

C2 = 24

<em> </em>

C2 = 24 or

C2 = 12

C1 = 36 - C2

C1 = 36 - 24 = 12

C1 = 36 - 12  = 24

Answer

<u><em>C1 = 12 ohms or 24 ohms</em></u>

<u><em>C2 = 24 ohms or 12 ohms</em></u>

1. Define the following in the case of a concave mirror.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Principal focus of a concave mirror. The principal focus of a concave mirror is a point on its principal axis to which all the light rays are parallel and close to the axis converge after reflection from the concave mirror.

Focal length of a concave mirror. The focal length of a concave mirror is the distance between its pole and the principal focus

The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror forms a part of a sphere. The centre of this sphere. This point is called the centre of curvature of the spherical mirror. Center of curvature can also be defined as the point in the centre of the sphere from which the mirror was sliced. It is represented by the letter C. Please note that the centre of curvature lies outside the mirror's reflecting surface. The centre of curvature of a concave mirror lies in front of it. However, it lies behind the mirror in case of a convex mirror.

If a concave mirror were thought of as being a slice of a sphere, then there would be a line passing through the center of the sphere and attaching to the mirror in the exact center of the mirror. This line is known as the principal axis.

dalvyx [7]

note-Unlike the planetary model, our model view is that the electrons move around the nucleus in an electron cloud. Modern atomic theory states that the atom is a diffuse cloud surrounding a small, dense nucleus. Identify which particle is in the nucleus. note-Neutron is a particle in the nucleus.
