<h2>Corrected Question: </h2>

Three resistors with values of 5.0 ohm, 10 ohm, and 15 ohms and are connected in series in a circuit with a 9.0-V battery. (a) What is the total equivalent resistance? (b) What is the current in each resistor? (c) At what rate is energy delivered to the 15 ohm resistor?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 30 ohm

(b) 0.3A

(c) 1.35W

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) When resistors are connected in series, their total equivalent resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the total resistance, R, of the resistors in question is;

R = 5.0 + 10 + 15

R = 30 ohm

Therefore, the total equivalent resistance is 30 ohm

(b) Also, when resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them and the value of the current is equal to the ratio of the voltage across their combined (total) resistance to their total resistance.  Therefore, to get the current, I, through each resistor, we find the ratio of the voltage, V, across their combined resistance to their total resistance, R as follows;

I = \frac{V}{R}            ------------------(i)

<em>From the question;</em>

V = 9.0V

R = 30 ohm (as calculated above)

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

I = \frac{9.0}{30}

I = 0.3A

Therefore the current in each resistor is 0.3A

(c) The rate at which energy is delivered to the 15 ohm resistor is the measure of the power, P, supplied to the resistor and is given by;

P = I²R                --------------------(ii)

Where;

R = the value of the resistor = 15 ohm

I = current in the resistor = 0.3A

<em>Substitute the values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

P = (0.3)² x 15

P = 0.09 x 15

P = 1.35W

Therefore, the rate at which energy is delivered to the 15 ohm resistor is 1.35W

3. The honeycomb-like appearance of this sandstone is a result of.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

  • In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.

A parallel circuit contains an 18-V battery wired with 2 bulbs with resistances of 8
RSB [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Total current will be   18 v/ 8 ohms +   18v / 24 ohms = 3 amps

Equivalent resistance   =   1 / (1/8 + 1/24) = 6 Ω

A 1-kilogram parcel of air is at 35°c and contains 7 grams of water vapor. What is the relative humidity?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Relative Humidity (%) = (water vapor content÷water vapor capacity) × 100

=(7÷35)×100

=(0.2)×100

=20%

According to the Temperature-Water Vapor Capacity Table, the water capacity at 35 °C is 35 grams.

Water Vapor Capacity: The amount of water (grams) which air can hold at a given temperature.

Water Vapor Content: The amount of water vapor actually present in the air.
