Answer:
(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is 3 ohms
(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is 183.33 m
Explanation:
Given;
resistivity of the wire, ρ = 0.12 ohms per meter
(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is calculated as follows;
(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is calculated as;
Potential energy which is the stored energy an object has waiting to be used
Answer:
It comes out the positive side of the battery and goes in to the negative side of the battery
Explanation:
There are already electrons in wires in a circuit before you add the battery. By adding the battery, you're giving the electrons the energy it needs to move along the circuit.
In a series circuit, the circuit is one continuous loop so there is only one path for the electrons to go - out of the positive side of the battery and around the circuit then goes back into the negative side of the battery.
However, with a parallel circuit, there are two or more ways the electrons can go so they take the path of least resistance. The electrons still go out the positive side of a battery but along the circuit, the electrons will go through the path of least resistance ( I tend to think of it like a net with holes in it - the lower the resistance the bigger the holes for the electrons to go through so more can fit in a set amount of time ) but the electrons still go out of the positive side and in through the negative
