Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are

connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is. Part A Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

r=0.127

Explanation:

When  connected in series

Current = I

When connected in parallel

Current = 10 I

We know that equivalent resistance

In series  R = R₁+R₂

in parallel  R= R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)

Given that voltage is constant (Vo)

V = I R

Vo = I (R₁+R₂)  ------------1

Vo = 10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) -------2

From above equations

10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) = I (R₁+R₂)  

10  R₁R₂ =  (R₁+R₂) (R₂+ R₁)

10  R₁R₂  = 2  R₁R₂  + R₁² + R₂²

8 R₁R₂  =     R₁² + R₂²

Given that

r =  R₁/R₂

Divides by R₂²

8R₁/R₂  = ( R₁/R₂)²+ 1

8 r = r ² + 1

r ² - 8 r+ 1 =0  

r= 0.127 and r= 7.87

But given that R₂>R₁  It means that r<1 only.

So the answer is r=0.127

All biomes don’t have the same level of biodiversity. What seems to be the optimal conditions for high biodiversity?
irinina [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a <u>warm temperature</u> and <u>wet climates</u>.

<em>The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 </em>^oC<em> and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots. </em>

Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18 ^oC and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.

The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.

Greg is boiling water on the stove for some noodles. what object can he safely hold while draining the water from the noodles af
zmey [24]
In order for Greg to safely drain the water out of the noodles, he should use potholders or any thing that is does not conduct heat or transfer heat. Some pots are also equipped with handles that are made of plastics for safely transferring of its content to another container.

Question 3 of 15
omeli [17]

Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

The current through an inductor of inductance L is given by I(t) = Imax sin(ωt).
sammy [17]

Answer:

(a) emf_L=-LI_{max}\omega cos(\omega t)

(b) neither increasing or decreasing

(c) opposite to the flow of charge carriers

Explanation:

The current through an inductor of inductance L is given by:

I(t)=I_{max}sin(\omega t)   (1)

(a) The induced emf is given by the following formula

emf_L=-L\frac{dI}{dt}    (2)

You derivative the expression (1) in the expression (2):

emf_L=-L\frac{d}{dt}(I_{max}sin(\omega t))\\\\emf_L=-LI_{max}\omega cos(\omega t)

(b) At t=0 the current is zero

(c) At t = 0 the emf is:

emf_L=-\omega LI_{max}

w, L and Imax have positive values, then the emf is negative. Hence, the induced emf is opposite to the flow of the charge carriers.

(d) read the text carefully
