There is a 0.40-A current in resistor X when it is connected to a 2.0-V battery. A 0.25-A current is in a second resistor, Y, wh

en it is connected to a 4-V battery. There is a 0.50-A current in a third resistor, Z, when it is connected to a 5.0-V battery. Find the resistor that has the maximum resistance and the resistor that has the least resistance.

We can find the value of the resistance R of each resistor by using Ohm's law:
V=IR
where
V is the potential difference across the resistor
I is the current flowing through it

First resistor:
R_X =  \frac{V}{I}= \frac{2.0 V}{0.40 A}=5 \Omega
Second resistor:
R_Y =  \frac{V}{I}= \frac{4 V}{0.25 A}=16 \Omega
Third resistor:
R_Z =  \frac{V}{I}= \frac{5.0 V}{0.50 A}=10 \Omega

So, the resistor with the maximum resistance is the second one (Y), while the resistor with the least resistance is the first one (X)

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is
gavmur [86]
Kelvin is a base unit of temperature scale from SI that defines as zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero). The absolute zero is a hypothetical statement that all molecular movement stops because there is no transient of energy for the molecules to move. When converting temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. You are given 600K and you are asked to find it in degrees Celsius.  

T(K) = T(C) + 273
600 K = T(C) + 273
T(C) = 600 – 273
T(C) = 327 °C
