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:
Explanation:
The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by
where
Q is the charge
r is the distance from the charge
k is the Coulomb's constant
In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is
and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of
Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:
