<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct answer is</u><u> the current will decrease by a factor proportional to the number of resistors. </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In a parallel circuit, when all the resistors are in parallel to the power supply, the voltage across all the branches in parallel is the same but the current decreases as we add more load. If each current path P has different resistances, highest current flows through the path which has the least resistance and hence current decreases proportionally.

How high up is a 3 kg object that has 300 joules of energy

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Height, h = 10.20 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 3 kg

Energy of object, E = 300 J

Let it will moved to a height of h. The energy possessed by it is called gravitational potential energy. It is given by :

$E=mgh$

$h=\dfrac{E}{mg}$

$h=\dfrac{300\ J}{3\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 10.20 meters

So, the object will move to height of 10.20 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 45-mH inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through a 15-V dc power supply and a switch. If the switch is close

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The current is 0.248 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductor $L= 45\times10^{3}\ H$

Resistance $R= 60\Omega$

Voltage = 15 volt

Time $t =7.0\times10^{-3}\ sec$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}(1-e^{\dfrac{-R}{L}}t)$

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

L = inductance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{15}{60}(1-e^{\dfrac{-60}{45\times10^{3}}}\times7\times10^{-3})$

$I=0.248\ A$

Hence, The current is 0.248 A.

In many areas electricity is produced by huge generators close to dames. What function does a large volume of moving water have

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

To increase the volume of moving water, impoundments or dams are used to collect the water. An opening in the dam uses gravity to drop water down a pipe called a penstock. The moving water causes the turbine to spin, which causes magnets inside a generator to rotate and create electricity.
