Equivalent resistance is also known as the overall resistance. 

For resistors in a series circuit, the total resistance is computed using the formula:

R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}+ R_{3}... R_{n}

In other words, you just add up the resistance of each resistor in the series circuit. In your case you only have two resistors. You have 2Ω and 4Ω. So all you need to do is add that up. 

R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}
R_{T} = 2 + 4=6

The total resistance of the series circuit is 6Ω

In a parallel circuit you get the total resistance using the formula:
\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}...+\frac{1}{R_{n}}

First you get the sum of all fractions and at the end take the reciprocal of the resulting fraction and divide. So let us take your problem into consideration where you have two resistors that have a resistance of 2Ω and 4Ω.

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}
\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}
\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{4}
\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{3}{4}

Get the reciprocal of the resulting fraction 3/4 and then divide. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

4/3 = 1. 33Ω

So if you compare the equivalent resistance of the two circuits, the series circuit has a higher equivalent resistance.

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal
Juli2301 [7.4K]

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ
