Students are experimenting with circuits in their physics class and they build the two working circuits pictured below. The batt

ery in each circuit is identical and each bulb (resistor) they add provides the same amount of resistance.
They notice that every time they added bulb 3 (R3) to Circuit A, the brightness of all the bulbs dimmed but when they added bulb 3 (R3), nothing changed in the brightness of the bulb.  Which explanation of this observation is most complete?

Question options:

The brightness of the bulbs is all about the total amount of voltage at each resistor: less voltage = dimmer bulbs.  Circuit A is a series circuit, so the voltage of the battery is divided across all of the resistors.  Circuit B is a parallel circuit so the voltage across each resistor in parallel is the same as the battery. 

The brightness of the bulbs is all about the total amount of current in the circuit: less current = dimmer bulbs.  Circuit A is a series circuit, the more resistors you add, the less total current you get.  Circuit B is a parallel circuit so the more resistors you add, the more total current you get. 

The brightness of the bulbs is all about the total amount of resistance in the circuit: more resistance = dimmer bulbs.  Circuit A is a series circuit, so every time you add a resistor the total resistance increases.  Circuit B is a parallel circuit, so every time you add a resistor the total resistance decreases.

The brightness of the bulbs has to do with power which considers both the voltage and the current: less voltage x less current = dimmer bulbs.  In circuit A, the voltage is divided across the resistors and the current decreases as resistance increases.  In circuit B, the voltage is the same in each parallel section of the circuit and the current through that section of the circuit only depends on the resistor in that section.

The complete observation about adding bulb 3 is the brightness of the bulbs has to do with power which considers both the voltage and the current: less voltage x less current = dimmer bulbs.  In circuit A, the voltage is divided across the resistors and the current decreases as resistance increases.  In circuit B, the voltage is the same in each parallel section of the circuit and the current through that section of the circuit only depends on the resistor in that section.

<h3>What is power of the circuit?</h3>

The power of the bulb or any resistor is equal to the product of voltage and  current flowing through it.

P = VI

Circuit A has bulbs in series while the circuit B has bulbs in parallel.

When bulb 3 added to circuit A,  the brightness of all the bulbs dimmed but when bulb 3 (R3) added to circuit B, nothing changed in the brightness of the bulb.

The brightness is depended on the power of the circuit. When both the voltage and current are less, the bulb will be dimmed. In circuit A, series resistors divide the voltage across them. In circuit B, voltage is equal for all the resistors.

Thus, the last option is correct.

If you chip your tooth enamel, it may grow back. <br> True<br> False
Yuri [45]

Answer:

When a patient has a chipped tooth, it means that a small portion of their tooth is no longer there. Chipped teeth are one of the more common types of dental problems that general dentists deal with. However, chipped teeth do not grow back on any portion of a tooth and instead need to be repaired by a general dentist.

Hope this helped <3

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.
