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.

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

A spacecraft of mass 1500 kg orbits the earth at an altitude of approximately 450 km above the surface of the earth. Assuming a
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

1.28 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km

Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'

g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2

g' / g = {6400 /  (6850)}^2

g' = 8.55 m/s^2

The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft

W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N

two small charged objects repel each other with a force 2.53 when separated by a distance 0.11. if the charge on each object is
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The force between the charges will be 10.9 N.

<h3>What is the electrostatic force?</h3>

The electrostatic attraction particles that make up the electrostatic force behave as both an attracting and a repulsive force. The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

F ∝ 1 / r²

F = k / r²

Fr² = k

When two tiny charged objects are 0.11 of a distance apart, they repel one another with a force of 2.53. If the distance between the two particles is cut to 0.053 and the charge on each item is decreased to 67.9% of its initial amount. Then the force will be

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²

2.53 × (0.11)² = F × (0.053)²

F = 10.9 N

More about the electrostatic force link is given below.
