Does current flow through or across a resistor?

Physics

It's not exactly clear what you think the difference is between "through" and "across".

A resistor has two wires.  Electric current that flows into one wire, continues <em>through</em> the entire body of the resistor and out <em>through</em> the other wire.  If there's a crack or break anywhere along the body of the resistor, the circuit will be 'open' and the current will stop flowing.

Now, if you were to connect a <em>voltmeter</em> between the ends of the resistor, the meter would measure and indicate the difference in electric potential between those two points.  That would be called the voltage '<u><em>across</em></u>' the resistor.  Numerically, it would be equal to the product of the resistor's resistance and the current through it.

A physics student skis down a hill, accelerating at a constant
ikadub [295]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

225 meters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object in motion.

In our case we are given;

Acceleration, a = 2.0 m/s²

Time, t = 15 s

We are required to find the length of the slope;

Assuming the student started at rest, then the initial velocity, V₀ is Zero.

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the final velocity, Vf</h3>

Using the equation of linear motion;

Vf = V₀ + at

Therefore;

Vf = 0 + (2 × 15)

    = 30 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the student is 30 m/s

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the length (displacement) of the slope </h3>

Using the other equation of linear motion;

S = 0.5 at + V₀t

We can calculate the length, S of the slope

That is;

S = (0.5 × 2 × 15² ) - (0 × 15)

= 225 m

Therefore, the length of the slope is 225 m

Which description of energy changes in nuclear reactions is correct?
Kryger [21]
The answer for this question is letter "B.Fission releases energy, and its products have greater stability."

Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that when they release energy, they make the nuclei more stable. So among the choices, option B is the most fitting for the definition.
