If we will connect the resistors 2ohms, 3ohms, 5ohms in series and the 10ohms resistance parallel then we get equivalent resistance of 5 ohms.

The equivalent circuit is,

R equivalent for the series connection is,

\begin{gathered} Req(S)=2+3+5=10ohms \\ Now,\text{ } \\ Req\text{ }for\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }and\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }is, \\ \frac{1}{Req}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \\ So, \\ Req=5\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}

The equivalent resistance is 5 ohms.

So your friend is saying true.

Which of the following statements is false?
vladimir1956 [14]

An excited atom can return to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation is false about the electromagnetic radiation.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the scope of modern quantum theory, the term Electromagnetic radiation is identified as the movement of photons through space. Almost all the sources of energy that we utilize today such as coal, oil, etc are a product of electromagnetic radiation which was absorbed from the sun millions of years ago.

Various properties of electromagnetic radiations are a directly proportional relationship between the energy and the frequency, Inverse proportionality between frequency and the wavelength, etc. Hence, we can conclude that an "excited atom" can never return to its ground state by assimilating electromagnetic radiation and the 2nd statement is false.

Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb or rod, even though they have nonet charge. How is this possible?
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of  pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.
