A complete circuit contains two parallel connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance

of the first device is 1208 ohMs the resistance of the second device is 408 ohMs and the voltage developed by the generator is 40 V. What is the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device

We are asked to solve and determine the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device. In order for us to have a better understanding of the problem, we can refer to the attached picture which contains electric circuit diagram. Since it the problem we are already given with an electromotive source or the voltage supply and since the two resistance is in parallel, it would clearly mean that the voltage drop in each resistance is just the same. The resistance 1 uses the 40 volts at the same time the resistance 2 uses 40 volts also. Solving further for the current, we can apply Ohm's law which V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance.

Such as the solution in obtaining current is shown below:
I = V / R, substitute values we have it
I = 40 volts / 1208 ohms
I = 0.0331 Amperes

Therefore, the current flowing in the first device is 0.033 Amperes or 33 milliAmperes.

Question 5 of 5: Someone texting or talking spans an average of 27 seconds after they put the phone down are still thinking abou
AVprozaik [17]
The answer is true. Distraction “latency” lasts for about 27 seconds.

This means that even after driver put down the phone or stop fooling with the navigation system; he or she isn’t fully committed with the driving task. Talking on a cell phone and texting are frequent what people associate with distracted driving, but there are so much more activities behind distracted driving.

Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Positively charged objects have electrons; they simply possess more protons than electrons.

Explanation:

2. An object that is electrically neutral contains only neutrons. Electrically neutral atoms simply possess the same number of electrons as protons.

<h3>Information:</h3>

If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion.

<h3>Tips:</h3>

If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.

A car moving along a racetrack has a centripetal acceleration of 11.3 m/ s2. If the speed of the car is 30.0 m/s, what is the di
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} and filling in:

11.3=\frac{(30.0)^2}{r} and solving for r:

r=\frac{(30.0)^2}{11.3} gives us that

r = 79.6 m
