What is the equivalent resistance of the

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Approximately $111\; {\rm \Omega}$ .

Explanation:

It is given that $R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega}$ and $R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}$ are connected in a circuit in parallel.

Assume that this circuit is powered with a direct current power supply of voltage $V$ .

Since $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are connected in parallel, the voltage across the two resistors would both be $V$ . Thus, the current going through the two resistors would be $(V / R_{1})$ and $(V / R_{2})$ , respectively.

Also because the two resistors are connected in parallel, the total current in this circuit would be the sum of the current in each resistor: $I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})$ .

In other words, if the voltage across this circuit is $V$ , the total current in this circuit would be $I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})$ . The (equivalent) resistance $R$ of this circuit would be:

$\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{V}{I} \\ &= \frac{V}{(V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Given that $R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega}$ and $R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}$ :

$\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/(200\: {\rm \Omega})) + (1/(250\; {\rm \Omega}))} \\ &\approx 111\; {\rm \Omega}\end{aligned}$ .

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.

An element emits a spectrum that____________.a)is evenly spaced.b)is the same as all other elements.c)is unique to that element.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

c)is unique to that element

Explanation:

The spectrum emitted by a element shows the internal electronic structure of that element.We know that all element is having different internal electronic structure that is why all element emits different spectrum.And the spacing between the spectrum is uneven .

Therefore the answer will be option C.

c)is unique to that element
