A 5.0-Ω resistor and a 9.0-Ω resistor are connected in parallel. A 4.0-Ω resistor is then connected in series with this parallel

combination. An ideal 6.0-V battery is then connected across the series-parallel combination of the three resistors.(a) What is the current through the 4.0-Ω resistor?

The 4ohm resistor is not parallel to any devices, so the current through it is the same as the total current through the circuit.

Apply I = V/R
I = total current, V = battery voltage, R = total resistance

Calculate the total resistance R of the circuit first.

R will be the sum of the 4ohm resistor and the resistance of the 5&9ohm parallel resistors. To find the resistance of the pair, you apply the “sum of inverses” rule:

R = 1/(1/5 + 1/9) = 3.21ohm

Now add the 4ohm resistor:
R = 3.21 + 4 = 7.21ohm

Now let’s calculate I = V/R:
Given values:
V = 6.0V
R = 7.21ohm
Plug in and solve for I:
I = 6.0/7.21

I = 0.83A

An electron emitted from a filament is travelling at 1.5 x 105 m/s when it enters an acceleration of an electron gun in a televi
Crank

Answer:

The acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the emitted electron, u = 1.5 x 10⁵ m/s

distance traveled by the electron, d = 0.01 m

final velocity of the electron, v = 5.4 x 10⁶ m/s

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

(5.4 x 10⁶)² = (1.5 x 10⁵)² + (2 x 0.01)a

(2 x 0.01)a = (5.4 x 10⁶)² - (1.5 x 10⁵)²

(2 x 0.01)a = 2.91375 x 10¹³

a = \frac{2.91375 \ \times \ 10^{13}}{2 \ \times \ 0.01} \\\\a = 1.457 \ \times \ 10^{15} \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
