Answer in explanation
Explanation:
The path of flow of circuit is called electric circuit. In an electric circuit, resistances are connected in two different ways, which are:
1- Series Combination of Resistances
2- Parallel Combination of Resistances
<u>Series combination of resistances </u>
In series combination resistors are connected end to end, and there is only one path for the flow of current.
Characteristics Of Series Circuit:
1. In series circuit there is only one path for the flow of current.
2. Same amount of current flows through each resistor.
I = I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = In
3. Total voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of voltages across each resistor.
V = V₁ +V₂ + V₃ + ... + Vn
4. In series combination the combined resistance of the resistors can be obtained by adding the value of each resistor.
R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + … + Rn
<u>Parallel combination of resistances </u>
Resistances are set to be connected in parallel, when each of them is connected directly from the terminals of electric source.
Characteristics Of Series Circuit:
1. There are more than one path for the flow of current.
2. The value of potential difference remains constant on each resistor.
V = V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = Vn
3. Total current is equal to the sum of current passing through each resistor.
I = I₁ + I₂ + I₃ +...+ In
4. Reciprocal of equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of reciprocals of resistances connected in parallel.
1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + … + 1/Rn

Answer:
The answer is a wedge.
Explanation:
The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces, e.g, splitting timber
M.A.= slant height of wedge/thickness of wedge.
Hence a long thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one; or the smaller the angle theta between the slant heights, the greater the mechanical advantage.
