The North Pole of a magnet points toward the geographic North Pole, yet like poles repel. Explain this seeming discrepancy

1 answer:

4 0

This is because the geological north pole of the earth is actually the south pole of our magnetic field. This surprises many people but it is called the "magnetic north" because the north pole of a magnet points toward it, not because it's a "north" magnetic field. It is a confusing and rather bad name.

Resistors examples.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Multiply the resistances. Example: Two resistors in parallel, 100 and 200 ohms. 100 x 200 = 20,000

Add the resistances. Example: 100 + 200 = 300

Divide the result in Step 1 by the result in Step 2. This gives you the total resistance. Example: 20,000 / 300 = 66.7 ohms.

What happens when the fuel in a car engine combustion?

Trava [24]

In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke.
