Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wire 1:

length = 2L

Area = 2 A

Wire 2: length = L

Area = A

As we know that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

Let ρ be the resistivity of the cooper wire.

Resistance of wire 1

R1 = ρ x 2L / 2 A = ρ L / A

Resistance of wire 2:

R2 = ρ x L /  A = ρ L / A

As R1 = R2

It means both the wires have same resistance.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.

L = I × ω

Since the planet follows a stable circular orbit, I and ω are constant and non-zero.  Therefore, the angular momentum is constant and non-zero.

Relate the structure of water to its ability to act as a solvent
pishuonlain [190]

Explanation:

Water (H2O) as a polar covalent molecule has its arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms where one end (hydrogen) has a partially positive charge while the other side (oxygen) had a partially negative charge.

It is also capable of forming hydrogen bonds with polar molecules. Each water molecule can form two hydrogen bonds involving their hydrogen atoms and two further hydrogen bonds using the hydrogen atoms attached to neighboring water molecules.
