Answer:

B. The voltage is the same across all resistors in the circuit.

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

A.The current is the same across all resistors in the circuit.

B.The voltage is the same across all resistors in the circuit.

C. As more resistors are added, the current will decrease.

D. The sum of the voltage drops will equal the total voltage.

<h2>Solution</h2>

In a simple parallel circuit, each component (resistor) is connected directly to the battery forming different branches or pathways to the current.

Thus, the ends of each resistor receives the total potential difference or voltage from the battery, which is what the statement B. asserts. Hence, statement B is true.

On the other hand, the current will split among the different pathways, following Ohm's law: the greater the resistance of the resistor the lower the current. Thus, the statement A is false.

For a parallel circuit, the total resistance decreases as more resistors are added, which means that, again following Ohm's law, the current will increase, contradicting the statement C. Thus, the statement C is false.

It is in the series circuit that 'the sum of the voltage drops will equal the total voltage"; in a parallel circuit the voltage drop is the just one and the same for each resistor. Thus, the statement D is false,too.

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the eq

ad-work [718]

Answer:

-75 cm^3/min

Explanation:

Given from Boyle's law;

PV=C

From product rule;

VdP/dt + PdV/dt = dC/dt

but dC/dt = 0, V= 500 cm^3, P= 200kPa, dP= 30kPa/min

PdV/dt = dC/dt - VdP/dt

dV/dt = dC/dt - VdP/dt/ P

substituting values;

dV/dt = 0 - (500 * 30)/200

dV/dt = -75 cm^3/min

Need help with this question.... Next to each Formula, write the number of atoms of each element found in one unit of the compou

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The number of atoms present in one unit of the following compounds is:

a). Potassium Iodide , KI = 2

b).Sodium Sulfide, $Na_{2}S$ = 3

c). Silicon Dioxide , $SiO_{2}$ = 3

d). Carbonic Acid , $H_{2}CO_{3}$ = 6

Explanation:

Atomicity : It is defined as the number of atoms that are present in a given molecule/compound.

Atom : The smallest unit of matter is called atom. For e.g O is atom of oxygen but $O_{2}$ is not an atom , it is molecule of oxygen .

$O_{2}$ molecule has 2 atoms of Oxygen

Similarly Na , K , Fe are atoms but $O_{2}$ , $CO_{2}$ , $N_{2}$ , $H_{2}$ are molecules

a).Potassium Iodide

KI = 1 atom of K + 1 atom of I

Total atoms = 2

b) Sodium Sulfide

$Na_{2}S$ = 2 atoms of Na + 1 atom of S

Total atoms = 3

c) Silicon Dioxide

$SiO_{2}$ = 1 atom of Si + 2 atoms of O

Total atoms = 3

d) Carbonic Acid

$H_{2}CO_{3}$ = 2 atom of H + 1 atom of C + 3 atom of O

= 2+1+3

Total atoms = 6

Which choice describes a population? A. all the gray squirrels that live in a forest B. a nonliving factor in an organism's envi

goldenfox [79]

I believe D. because all the organisms that live in a lake can be a bunch of living things that would be considered a population and not a species. I canceled out B. from the get go because, I don’t believe non living organisms can be in a population ?

Please get back to me if I’m right or wrong :)

Why is it important for scientists to review and repeat the work of other scientists?

Veronika [31]

Scientists repeat experiments for reliability. Experiments have to be repeated, since performing an experiment only once, does not prove a scientists theory on the experiment, which they develop by performing the experiment. And then performing the experiment again or even many times to prove or disapprove their theories. Btw, before an experiment begins, the scientist will make a hypothesis of what they believe will happen. If proven correctly, they would then use those results they record throughout the experiment, from beginning to end to prove whether or not their hypothesis are correct or incorrect.

So that they can prove the other scientists views wrong and develop a new theory in which there is more sense and credibility.
