Answer:

Rp = 10 Ohms; I = 0.9 Amps

Explanation:

Since, there are two resistors each with 20Ω connected in parallel, the total resistance of the combination (Rp) of the circuit is as follows:

i.e 1/Rp = (1/R1 + 1/R2)

1/Rp = (1/20Ω + 1/20Ω)

1/Rp = (1 + 1)/20Ω

1/Rp = 2/20Ω

1/Rp = 1/10Ω

To get the value of Rp, cross multiply

Rp x 1 = 10Ω x 1

Rp = 10Ω

Apply the formula

Voltage V = Current I x Total resistance Rp

I = V/Rp

I = 9V/10Ω

I = 0.9 Amps

Thus, the total resistance is 10 Ohms, the current through the ammeter is 0.9 Amps

Describe two ways to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces.

Tanya [424]

<span>There are several ways to change the frictional force between two objects. The first one is to modify the surfaces of each object that will come in contact with each other. The smoother they get, the less friction there will be. But if the surfaces become rougher, more friction will be generated. If you don’t want to alter the surfaces, you can simply add lubrication to reduce friction.</span>

What length of a certain metal wire of diameter 0.15 mm is needed for the wire to have a resistance of 15 ω? the resistivity of

Murljashka [212]

The resistance of the cylindrical wire is $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$ .

Here $R$ is the resistance, $l$ is the length of the wire and $A$ is the area of cross section. Since the wire is cylindrical $A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ . Rearranging the above equation,
