Current is the overall flow of electrons through a conductor and can be defined as the speed of the flow of electrons. Resistance is defined as the opposition to current flow. Circuits must have resistance  to convert electrical energy into light, heat, or motion. Resistance is called the directional movement of electrons that form an electric current. It is also known that  electrons do not move freely in the crystal structure of a conductor. Resistance is the inherent opposition to the flow of electrons present in a conductor. Inductance is the property of any circuit to resist any change in current while capacitance is the property of the circuit to resist any change in voltage.

<h3>What is capacitor?</h3>

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores an electrical charge. Capacitors consist of two close conductors (usually plates) separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate an electrical charge when connected to a power source. The main purpose of a capacitor is to store electrostatic energy in an electric field and, if possible, to supply this energy to an electrical circuit.

To avoid dangerous circuit failure, they allow alternating current to flow but block direct current. Capacitors are widely used as circuit elements in many common electrical devices. Commercial capacitors are made of interwoven metal foils with paraffin or Mylar-impregnated paper as the dielectric.

Inga [223]

Answer:

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Explanation:

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

m = mass = 10kg ; g = 9.8m/s² ; r = cross sectional Radius = 1cm = 1 * 10-2 m

Δl = mgl / πr²Y

Y = Youngs modulus = Y=3.5 ×10^10 ; l = Length = 1m

Δl = (10 * 9.8 * 1) / π * (1 * 10^-2)²* 3.5 ×10^10

Δl = 98 / 3.5 * π * 10^6

Δl = 0.00000891267

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

(10 * 9.8 * 0.00000891267) / 2

= 0.00043672083 J

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Two resistors with values of 6.0 ohms and 12 ohms are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 2.0
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

4A

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?
Arisa [49]
Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

A pumkin is dropped, after 5 seconds, its velocity is 47 m/s. What is its acceleration?
EastWind [94]
Since the pumpkin is dropped, that means it is in freefall and is accelerating at the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s down.
