Answer:

a) Approximate the change in R is 0.5 ohm.

b) The actual change in R is 0.04 ohm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total resistance R of two resistors connected in parallel circuit is given by \frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}

To find :

a) Approximate the change in R ?

b) Compute the actual change.

Solution :

a) Approximate the change in R

R_1=12\ ohm and R_2=10\ ohm

R_1 is decreased from 12 ohms to 11 ohms.

i.e. \triangle R_1=21-11=1\ ohm

R_2 is increased from 10 ohms to 11 ohms.

i.e. \triangle R_2=11-10=1\ ohm

The change in R is given by,

\frac{1}{\triangle R}=\frac{1}{\triangle R_1}+\frac{1}{\triangle R_2}

\frac{1}{\triangle R}=\frac{\triangle R_2+\triangle R_1}{(\triangle R_1)(\triangle R_2)}

\triangle R=\frac{(\triangle R_1)(\triangle R_2)}{\triangle R_2+\triangle R_1}

\triangle R=\frac{(1)(1)}{1+1}

\triangle R=\frac{1}{2}

\triangle R=0.5\ ohm

b) The actual change in Resistance

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{10}

R=\frac{10\times 12}{10+12}

R=\frac{120}{22}

R=5.46\ ohm

When resistances are charged, R_1=R_2=11

\frac{1}{R'}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}

\frac{1}{R'}=\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}

R'=\frac{11}{2}

R'=5.5\ ohm

Change in resistance is given by,

C=R'-R

C=5.5-5.46

C=0.04\ ohm

Ivana and Gloria are sisters. Gloria is
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3 years ago, Gloria was 32 years old

If Ivana's age is = x

Then, 4x = 32

            x = 8

3 years ago, Ivana was 8 years old

So now she is 11 years old.
