Ryan wants to see if storing his batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer. He goes to Target and buys four batte
bulgar [2K]
<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>

Law Incorporation [45]

Increase in urbanization will lead to increase in the number of people who are living in an urban area and it will also lead to increase in development in that area. The increase in development can come in form of construction of industries, which release large amount of waste products that pollute the air. This will lead to air pollution and reduce air quality. Development can also be in form of availability of electricity, that makes it possible for people to operate different electrical gadgets such as radio and television, which can result in noise pollution. Increase in the number of people who operate motor vehicles will also lead to increase in air pollution, which is caused by fossils fuel.
