Answer:

Hi,

The correct answer option is; D. Most of the current will flow through one part of the circuit.

Explanation:

A short circuit is a low resistance path in an electric connection between two conductors supplying current in a circuit.

It happens when excess amounts of current flow in the power source through a 'short path'.

Short circuits occur at very high temperatures which is of course caused by the heat produced during dissipation.

An example of application of short circuit is arc welding, where heating is achieved through short circuit.

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes​
geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it  causes​  16000 ohms of resistance.

Which is true regarding the penetrating power of radiation? (2 points) Select one:
Monica [59]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Alpha particles are heaviest among alpha, beta and gamma so they have least amount of Penetration compared to both.

Gamma Particles are lightest among three so they can Penetrate most .

The order of Penetration is given by

Alpha< Beta < Gamma
