The power dissipated by a resistance ' R '
powered by a battery ' V ' is                            
                                                 P = V² / R .

Before we play with actual numbers, look at that formula, and
notice that the power is proportional to the square of the voltage. 
So if the voltage suddenly drops by half, then the power that's
dissipated by the resistance drops to 1/2² = 1/4 of where it started out.

Now that we have the pure Science worked out, we're ready to do
the Engineering, and apply our findings to some actual technology.

We have a light bulb that's designed to dissipate energy at the rate
of 24W when you connect it to a source of 12V .  But all we have
in the lab today is a 6V battery.  What power will our bulb dissipate
if we connect it to the 6V that we have, instead of the 12V that it's
designed for ?

We're all standing around scratching our beards, when the new hot-shot
post-doc lab assistant reminds us of the formula up in the first paragraph,
and shows us that since we're running it at 1/2 of the design voltage, we
expect it to dissipate 1/4 of design power = 6 watts.

It'll give us a bit of light so we can still walk around the lab without bumping
into things, but it won't get hot enough to warm our lunches.  We'll have to
do that over a Bunsen burner or in the microwave oven today, and one of
you junior members of the lab staff will have to stop at Lady-o'-Rack and
pick up either a new battery or a new bulb on your way in to work tomorrow.

It would be 12W because: 6v is half of 12v so half of 24w would be 12w

tangare [24]
A gyre is a set of currents that form b. a loop. The circulation of gyres are affected by global wind patterns, landmasses, and the planet's rotation. The circulation is also affected by temperature, as warm water goes up and cold water sinks. There are five major gyres in the world: <span>North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian, North Pacific, and South Pacific.</span>

______ 4. Justin was creating a chart comparing the potential energy between charged particles and the potential energy of magne
fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together

Explanation:

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.
