S A voltage ΔV is applied to a series configuration of n resistors, each of resistance R. The circuit components are reconnected
1 answer:
The power of is series combination is Vn^2 times that of a parallel combination.
For series combination :
Req = R + R + R + ............... n times = nR
I = Δv/nr
Power = (Δv/nr)^2 × nr = Δv^2/nr
For parallel combination
1/req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +................(n times) = n/R
Req = R/n
Power = Δv/(R/n) = nΔv^2/R
Ratio = Δv^2/nr/n·Δv^2/R = 1/n^2
Hence, power of is series combination is Vn^2 times that of a parallel.

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4
Explanation:
The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:
(1)
Where:
is the Drag Force
is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material
is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case)
</u>
is the transversal area of the body or object
the bicycle's velocity
Now, if we assume ,
and
do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:
(2)
Where groups all these coefficients.
So, if we have a new velocity , which is the double of the former velocity:
(3)
Equation (2) is written as:
(4)
Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>
