Answer:

Option B) C and D

Explanation:

The amount of charge passing through a resistor each second corresponds to the definition of current, so the problem is asking "which resistors have the same amount of current".

Let's keep in mind that:

- When two resistors are in series (=they are connected into the same branch of the circuit), the current flowing through each resistor is the same

- When two resistors are in parallel (=they are connected into different branches), the potential difference across each resistor is the same

Looking at the previous definitions, we have to find the two resistors in the circuit that are connected in series. We see that resistors C and D are in the same branch, so they are in series: therefore, the current flowing through resistor C and D is the same.

With what maximum precision can its position be ascertained? [hint: ?p=m?v.]

Nana76 [90]

The formula for the momentum is
p = mv
As a consequence of the conservation of energy, there is also the law of conservation of momentum.
So,
Δp = Δmv = mΔv
The maximum precision that the position can be ascertained is less than 100% because of dissipation.

An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: Equal number of protons and electrons. Example: an atom of oxygen atom has 8 electrons and 8 protons and is neutral.

Explanation:

An atom that has no charge is a neutral atom. It contains electrons equal to protons. For example: A neutral atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons.

An atom which has charge is said be ionized. It is either positively charged or negatively charged. It is positively charge when the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. For example: $Na^+$ contains 10 electrons and 11 protons.

And when the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged. For example, $Cl^-$ has 17 protons and 18 electrons. It readily accepts an electron to complete its octet.
