A lot of stuff plugged at the same time
If there are 2 high voltage items plugged together it will cause a short circuit depending on how much the circuit can take. Hope this helped:)

Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>

Which statement best compares the momentum of a 5-kilogram fish swimming at a speed of 10 meters/second and a 2-kilogram fish sw
ruslelena [56]
M = mass of the larger fish =5kg
<span>V = velocity of the larger fish =10m/s</span>
<span>m = mass of the smaller fish =2kg</span>
<span>v = velocity of the smaller fish =10m/s
</span>formula=
<span>MV = mv 
5kg*10m/s=2kg*10m/s
biggern mass fish has more momentum
hope this helps
