Answer:

The power dissipated by the resistors connected in parallel is higher than that of in series.

Explanation:

Power dissipated by a resistor is given by the following formula:

P = I^2R

The current, I, can be found by Ohm's Law:

V = IR

<u>Case 1: </u>

The equivalent resistance in resistors connected in series is:

R_{eq} = R_1 + R_2

I = V/R = E/(R_1 + R_2)

P_1 = I^2R_{eq} = \frac{E^2}{(R_1 + R_2)^2}(R_1 + R_2) = \frac{E^2}{(R_1 + R_2)}

<u>Case 2:</u>

The equivalent resistance in resistors connected in parallel is:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}\\R_{eq} = \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 + R_2}

I = V/R = \frac{E}{(\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 + R_2})} = \frac{E(R_1 + R_2)}{R_1R_2}

P_2 = I^2R_{eq} = \frac{E^2(R_1 + R_2)^2}{R_1^2R_2^2}\frac{R_1R_2}{(R_1 + R_2)} = \frac{E^2(R_1 + R_2)}{R_1R_2}

<u>Comparison: </u>

If we compare P_1 and P_2:

P_1 = \frac{E^2}{(R_1 + R_2)}, P_2 = \frac{E^2(R_1 + R_2)}{R_1R_2}\\

According to these equations, we can conclude that

P_2 > P_1

You can give numbers to resistances to compare them.

An LED operation at 850 nm center wavelength has a spectral width of 45 nm. What is the pulse spreading in ns/km
Papessa [141]

Answer:

\mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = 3.6 \ ns/ km}

Explanation:

From the given information, the LED is operating with a given wavelength of 850 nm or 0.85 μm.

Hence, the material dispersion is \dfrac {d \tau _{mat}}{d \lambda } \simeq (80 \ ps / (nm.km) \ )

Now, using the pulse spread formula:

\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = \dfrac{d \tau _{mat} }{d \lambda} \sigma \lambda

\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = (80 \ ps/ ( m.km) \ )  \times (45 \ nm)

Thus, the pulse spreading as a result of  material dispersion is:\mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = 3.6 \ ns/ km}

How high can a body vertically thrown with a speed of 40m/s raise after 3 sec (neglecting air
Tcecarenko [31]

y = 75.9 m

Explanation:

y = -(1/2)gt^2 + v0yt + y0

If we put the origin of our coordinate system at the point where a body is launched, then y0 = 0.

y = -(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2 + (40 m/s)(3 s)

= -44.1 m + 120 m

= 75.9

How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy
Licemer1 [7]

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

u \:  =  \:  \frac{kq1q2}{d}

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

niobium metal becomes a superconductor when cooled below 9 k. its superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field
Furkat [3]

Niobium wire with a 2.60 mm diameter has a maximum current capacity of 500 A while still remaining superconducting.

<h3>Describe the present.</h3>

Current is the rate at which charge passes from one point on a circuit to another. In a circuit, a significant current flows when several coulombs or charge pass over the cross section of a wire. When the charge carriers are firmly packed inside the wire, high currents can be generated at low speeds.

<h3>What do current and electron actually mean?</h3>

Electron movement is referred to as electron current. The positive terminal receives electrons that are released by the negative terminal. Traditional current, usually referred to as just current, exhibits behavior consistent with positive charge carriers being the source of current flow. Regular current is received at the positive end and then flows to a negative terminal.
