The new current will be 4I. The power dissipated by the resistor will increase by a factor of 16.

<h3>What is a resistor?</h3>

Using electrical resistance as a circuit element, a resistor is a passive electrical component with two terminals. In electrical circuits, resistors are used, among other things, to limit current flow, modify signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and terminate transmission lines.

As test loads for generators, power distribution systems, and motor controls, high-power resistors that can create many watts of heat rather than just electrical energy can be used.

Variable resistors can be used as sensors for force, heat, light, humidity, humidity, and chemical activity or for adjusting circuit components.

Electrical networks and electronic circuits frequently contain resistors, which are found everywhere in electronic equipment. Practical resistors are discrete components that come in a wide range of materials and forms.

How many lenses with different focal lengths can be obtained by combining two surfaces whose radii of curvature are 4.00 cm and

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The lenses with different focal length are four.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curvature R₁= 4

Radius of curvature R₂ = 8

We know ,

Refractive index of glass = 1.6

When, R₁= 4, R₂ = 8

We need to calculate the focal length of the lens

Using formula of focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=4.44\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = 8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=-13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= 4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=-4.44\ cm$

Hence, The lenses with different focal length are four.

What is the difference between clastic and bioclast?

Grace [21]

The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.

The musical tone a piano has a frequency of 346HZ and a wavelength of 1.3 M what is the speed of the sound

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

v= 449.8 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency= 346Hz

Wave length= 1.4m

The expression below is used to find the speed

$v= f \lambda\\\\$

substitute

$v= 346*1.3\\\\v= 449.8 m/s$

Hence the speed is v= 449.8 m/s
