1) The equivalent resistance is 2.73\Omega

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

1)

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

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

where R_1, R_2, R_3 are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

R_1 = 5.0 \Omega

R_2 = 10.0 \Omega

R_3 = 15.0 \Omega

Substituting,

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}

So the equivalent resistance is

R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega

2)

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

V=120 V

So, the voltage in the circuit is 120 V.

3)

The total current in the circuit can be found by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

I is the current

In this circuit, we have:

V = 120 V

R=2.73\Omega

Re-arranging the equation for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{2.73}=44.0 A

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the
Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.  

Option: B  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is \mu\times N

Where, \mu is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.
