Answer:
(1) 2 ohms
(2) 12 Volts Across each resistor
(3) I₁ = 3 A, I₂ = 2 A, I₃ = 1 A
Explanation:
From the question,
(1) Equilvalent Resistance (Rt) for parallel connection is
1/Rt =(1/R₁)+ (1/R₂) + (1/R₃)
Where R₁ = 4 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms, R₃ = 12 ohms
1/Rt = 1/4 +1/6 +1/12
1/Rt = (3+2+1)/12
1/Rt = 6/12
1/Rt = 1/2
Rt = 2 ohms.
(2) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, They will have the same potential difference across them,
Hence the P.d across each resistor = 12 Volts.
(3) For R₁,
I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/4
I₁ = 3 A.
For R₂,
I₂ = V/R₂
I₂ = 12/6
I₂ = 2 A
For R₃,
I₃ = V/R₃
I₃ = 12/12
I₃ = 1 A
Answer:
Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.
Explanation:
If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.
