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}

labwork [276]
The simplest arrangement of a reflex arc consists of the receptor, an interneuron (or adjustor), and an effector; together, these units form a functional group. Sensory cells carry input from the receptor (afferent impulses) to a central interneuron, which makes contact with a motor neuron.

True or false:<br> All of the rivers in the United States are closely monitored For pollution levels
Nutka1998 [239]

All of the rivers in the United States are not monitored closely for pollution levels.

The statement in the question is False

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Not all rivers in the United States are closely monitored for their pollution levels. There are volunteers who take responsibility of checking water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. They take the next step required after finding a water body contaminated.

But to say that all the rivers receive the same amount of attention and action is incorrect. To ensure that all the rivers are clean and pollution free, it would require a lot of man power in the said department which would collect the water samples from all these rivers and send it to labs for checking the pollution level of the particular river. It can be said that the rivers which are situated beside an industrial site, close to a town, will be the priority for checking pollution levels as it would directly cause harm to a small set of population if the toxicity is at an increased level.

Which is true according to the law of conservation of energy?
tatiyna

Answer: Last option (total energy always remains constant)

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation basically states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Only changed from one form to another (potential, kinetic, chemical, etc.) so it makes sense that the net energy is unchanging.
