A 16.0 Ω, 13.0 Ω, and 7.00 Ω resistor are connected in parallel to an emf source. A current of 6.00 A is in the 13.0 Ω resistor.

Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Answer in units of Ω.

The current in one parallel resistor doesn't tell us the equivalent resistance of the circuit. And the equivalent resistance of the circuit doesn't depend on the current through any of the resistors, or the voltage applied to them, or even whether there IS any current through any of them.  

Resistors in parallel have the same equivalent resistance even if they're wrapped in tissue, placed in a matchbox, and stored in the back of a drawer in a desk and locked in a dusty warehouse.

The equivalent resistance of 16Ω, 13Ω, and 7Ω all in parallel is the reciprocal of

(1/16) + (1/13) + (1/7) .

That's  1 / (0.0625 + 0.0769 + 0.1429)

That's  1 / (0.2823)

That's   <em>3.543 Ω</em> .

Answer:3.54ohms

Explanation: connection in parallel

1/Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

1/Rt= 1/16+1/13+1/7

1/Rt= 91+112+208/1456

1/Rt= 411/1456

411Rt= 1456

Rt= 1456/411

Rt= 3.54ohms

How to find the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve using a graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated. Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

madam [21]

A “real” image occurs when light rays actually intersect at the image, and become inverted, or turned upside down. ... In flat, or plane mirrors, the image is a virtual image, and is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The image is also the same size as the object.

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.

A flat, wide cloud floats horizontally a few kilometers above the surface of Earth. Its lower surface carries a uniform surface
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

Explanation:

Electric field strength= Force/unit charge

E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r

where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge

E= \frac{kQ}{r^2} r^
