Orlov [11]3 years ago

If the 3 ohm resistor is in parallel to the 12 ohm (I can't see it in the image) then the current through it is 12V/3ohm = 4A  Amps are Coulombs/s  The charge on the electron is 1.6e-19C   So 4 amps means 4/1.6e-19 = 2.5e19 electrons/s.
The reciprocal of this gives the number of electrons per second:
1/2.5e19 = 4e-20 s/(elect. charge)
The power in the 3 ohm resistor is 12*4=48W.  This is Joules/sec.  We know it takes on average 4e-20 s to get one electron charge through the resistor so we multiply:  48W * 4e-20s = 1.9e-18J
Note: In reality there are many electrons moving through the resistor together, and a single electron does not move this fast, but the total energy to do it would be equivalent to this.

You drop a 20 Ton object and a
Alborosie

Explanation:

it dosent depend on the weights of the items. I'll reach the ground at same time taking as no air friction or restrictions.

i.e

v = u + gt

whte v is final velocity of the object

u is initial velocity of the object

g is acceleration due to gravity and

t is time. thanks

A lifeguard on a beach observes that waves have a speed of 7 m/s and a distance of 4.6m between wave crests. what is the period
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec
