Answer:

1. will blow because the total current in this circuit is 14 A which is greater than 12 A.

Explanation:

According to Kirchoff current law (KCL) which states that the total current flowing in a circuit is equal to the sum of the individual branch current.

If the supply current is greater than the sum of the individual branch current, then the load will collapse or blow off.

In the question given, the total current of the fuse is 12A

Sum of branch currents = current in branch 1 + current in branch 2

= 8A+6A

= 14A

As we can see that the supply current is lower than the sum of the branch current, this will cause the fuse to blow because some of the branch current will be sent back on the fuse and thereby causing the fuse to blow.

Why does gas have the most energy but moves the slowest
Ede4ka [16]

Gases have heavier molecules. Since all gases have the same average kinetic energy at the same temperature, lighter molecules move faster and heavier molecules move slower on average.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.
