Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

R1 = 2

R2 = 4

R = 2*4 / (2 + 4)

R = 8 / 6

R = 1.3333

Current R1

R1 = 2 ohms

V = 12 volts

I = ?

V = I * R

12  = I * 2

12/2 = I

I = 6 amperes.

Current R2

V = 12 volts

R = 4 ohms

I = ?

V = I * R

12 = I * 4

12/4 = I

I = 3 amps

PLEASE HELP ME What does a moving charge experience when it is near a magnetic field? static friction gravity a stationary charg
attashe74 [19]

<u><em>A moving charge experiences a force as it moves close to a magnetic field present in a region.</em></u>

Explanation:

A charged particle when moves near a magnetic field is forced to move in a circular path. If there is a straight moving charged particle enters the region of the magnetic field, it's path is changed from straight path to the curved path.

The motion of the charged path inside or near the magnetic field will be a circular path and this circular path is due to the force experienced by the charged particle in the magnetic field.

The force experienced by the a charged particle as it moves near the magnetic field is termed as the Lorentz force. The expression for the Lorentz force experienced by the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by:

\boxed{F_m=Q(\overrightarrow{v}\times\overrightarrow{B})}

Here, F_m is the magnetic force, Q is the amount of charge, \overrightarrow{v} is the velocity vector and \overrightarrow{B} is the magnetic field intensity in the region.

Thus, <u><em>A moving charge experiences a force as it moves close to a magnetic field present in a region.</em></u>

Why is venus the hottest planet in the solar system
mr Goodwill [35]

Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun, its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms Earth.
