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.

What os the term for the smallest bit into which chemical substance can be divided and still have the properties of that substan
Ostrovityanka [42]

That's a molecule of the substance.  You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original  'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride".  That's SALT !  It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.

A spacecraft is moving past the earth at a constant speed of 0.60 times the speed of light. The astronaut measures the time inte
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

If 7 ounces of a sports drink contains 110 milligrams of sodium, what is the total number of milligrams of sodium in 20 ounces o
ehidna [41]

so you just take 110 divided by 7 and then you get the answer and times tthat by 20 and you get you answer which is 314.28 milligrams of sodium in 20 ounces of the sports drink.

Identify the labeled parts in the figure.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I. a, c, f and h

II. e

III. b, d, g and i

IV. i

Explanation:

I. Chemical symbols are simple abbreviations used to represent various elements or compound. They consist entire of alphabet.

For the diagram given above, the labelled parts which represent chemical symbol are: a, c, f and h

II. Coefficients are numbers written before the chemical symbol of elements or compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent Coefficient is: e

III. Number of atoms of element present in a compound is simply obtained by taking note of the numbers written as subscript in the chemical formula of the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent the number of atoms of the element are: b, d, g and i

IV. When no number is written as subscript in the formula of the element in the compound, it means the element has just 1 atom in the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which indicates that only 1 atom of the element is present is: i
