A parallel circuit has multiple paths from the energy source to the resistors (e.x., lightbulbs). If one bulb was to burn out, the rest would stay on, unlike a series circuit. If one bulb was to burn out, the circuit is no longer fully connected because there is only one path from the energy source to the resistors. But, despite these differences, they are similar in the way that they do have paths from the energy source to the resistors.

Explanation:

A system of resistors can be arranged in two ways i.e. series combination and parallel combination.

In series combination of resistors, the current flowing across each and every resistor is same while the potential difference divides. The equivalent resistance in series combination is given by :

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+.......+R_n

In parallel combination of resistors, the potential difference across each and every resistor is same while the current divides. The equivalent resistance is parallel combination is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+.........+\dfrac{1}{R_n}

a mango drops to the ground from the top of a tree which is 5 meter high,how does it take the mango to reach the ground​
tatuchka [14]

Gravity tends to pull the object towards the earth's surface, resulting in a drop or a free fall. Fruits falling from a tree, a stone thrown off a cliff, skydiving, and other free-fall motions are examples.

Mango takes 1.009 seconds to reach the ground.

<h3>What is free fall ?</h3>
  • A situation in which an object moves solely under the influence of gravity is referred to as free fall. An external force acts on the ball, causing it to move faster. This free fall acceleration is also known as gravitational acceleration. The term "free fall" refers to a downward movement with no initial force or velocity.
  • Gravity tends to pull the object towards the earth's surface, resulting in a drop or a free fall. Fruits falling from a tree, a stone thrown off a cliff, skydiving, and other free-fall motions are examples.

h = \frac{g t^2}{2}

where,

h = height = 5m ,

t = time ,

g =gravity = 9.8 m/s.

t^{2} = 2h / g = 10/9.8 = 1.02

t= \sqrt{1.02} = 1.009 sec

A 615 N student standing on a scale in an elevator notices that the scale reads 645 N. From this information, the student knows
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The elevator must be moving upward.

Explanation:

During the motion of an elevator, the weight of the person deviates from his or her actual weight. This temporary weight during the motion is referred to as "Apparent Weight". So, when the elevator is moving downward, the apparent weight of the person becomes less than his or her actual weight.

On the other hand, for the upward motion of the elevator, the apparent weight of the person becomes more than the actual weight of that person.

Since the apparent weight (645 N) of the student, in this case, is greater than the actual weight (615 N) of the student.

<u>Therefore, the elevator must be moving upward.</u>
