A 3.0 \Omega Ω resistor is connected in parallel to a 6.0 \Omega Ω resistor, and the combination is connected in series with a 4

.0 \Omega Ω resistor. If this combination is connected across a 12.0 V battery, what is the power dissipated in the 3.0 \Omega Ω resistor?

Answer:

The power dissipated in the 3 Ω resistor is P= 5.3watts.

Explanation:

After combine the 3 and 6 Ω resistor in parallel, we have an 2 Ω and a 4 Ω resistor in series.

The resultating resistor is of Req=6Ω.

I= V/Req

I= 2A

the parallel resistors have a potential drop of Vparallel=4 volts.

I(3Ω) = Vparallel/R(3Ω)

I(3Ω)= 1.33A

P= I(3Ω)² * R(3Ω)

P= 5.3 Watts

How does the width of the floodplain change over time?
serg [7]
Floodplains are landscapes shaped by running water. As streams and their larger forms, rivers, flow across the surface of land, they transport eroded rock and other material. (Erosion is the gradual wearing away of Earth surfaces through the action of wind and water.) At points along that journey, when their flow slows, the material they carry is dropped to create what are termed depositional landforms. Among these landforms are deltas and floodplains.
