The equivalent resistance is D) 7.55 \Omega

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance of n resistors in parallel is given by the equation:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

For three resistors such as in this problem, the equation becomes

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

where we have the following:

R_1 = 10 \Omega is the resistance of the 1st resistor

R_2 = 50 \Omega is the resistance of the 2nd resistor

R_3 = 80 \Omega is the resistance of the 3rd resistor

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{80}=0.133 \Omega^{-1}

R=\frac{1}{0.133}=7.55 \Omega

The power of a purely resistive lead is always positive although the current and voltage are sometimes negative. explain​
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Current is in phase with voltage in a resistive circuit. Note that the wave form for power is always positive, never negative for this resistive circuit. This means that power is always being dissipated by the resistive load, and never returned to the source as it is with reactive loads.Explanation:

If a receiver is overly selective:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.

Explanation:

Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.

If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.
