Three resistors having the same resistance value are wired in parallel. How does the equivalent resistance compare to the resist

ance value of a single resistor?

Answer:The equivalent resistance is less than the resistance of a single resistor

Explanation:

Imagine three 3-ohm resistors connected in parallel.

1/Req= 1/R + 1/R + 1/R

1/Req= 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3

equivalent resistance is [3(1/3)^-1]=1ohm

This is less than the individual resistance of each of the original three ohm resistors. Hence the answer.

In which situation is the maximum possible work done?
mina [271]
A) When the angle between the Force (F) and Displacement (x) is 0°, because, Work done (W) is directly proportional to the Cosine of the Angle between the Force applied and the resultant displacement of the subject.
W = F•x cos ∅
If ∅ = 0°,
W = F•x ===> Maximum Work Done.
If ∅ = 45°,
W = F•x/√2
If ∅ = 90°,
W = 0
If ∅ = 180°,
W = –F•x ===> Minimum Work Done.

Answer:

a)   S = 2.35 10³   J/m²2 ,  

b)and the tape recorder must be in the positive Z-axis direction.

the answer is 5

c) the direction of the positive x axis

Explanation:

a) The Poynting vector or intensity of an electromagnetic wave is

          S = 1 /μ₀ E x B

if we use that the fields are in phase

          B = E / c

we substitute

         S = E² /μ₀ c

let's calculate

        s = 941 2 / (4π 10⁻⁷  3 10⁸)

        S = 2.35 10³   J/m²2

 

b) the two fields are perpendicular to each other and in the direction of propagation of the radiation

In this case, the electro field is in the y direction and the wave propagates in the ax direction, so the magnetic cap must be in the y-axis direction, and the tape recorder must be in the positive Z-axis direction.

the answer is 5

C) The poynting electrode has the direction of the electric field, by which or which should be in the direction of the positive x axis
