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.

Kaylis [27]

You are given a QL = -26 μC charge that is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m and a QR = 26 μC charge that is placed at x = +0.2 m. The answers are:

The x-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 3.
The y-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 2.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:

1. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound and water waves are mechanical waves, this is the first and principal difference.

2. Electromagnetic waves can propagate in vacuum (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always transversal waves, this means the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation; but mechanical waves may be both: longitudinal waves (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a constant velocity (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the density of the medium or material.

5. Mechanical waves are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while electromagnetic waves are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. Water waves are 2-dimensional waves, while the light and the sound are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves transports energy in the form of radiation, while mechanical waves transport energy with material
