The equivalent resistance of three resistors in series is given by the sum of the resistances:
$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3$
In this circuit, the value of the three resistances is:
$R_1=3 \Omega$
$R_2=4 \Omega$
$R_3=5 \Omega$
Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is:
$R_{eq}=3 \Omega+4 \Omega + 5 \Omega =12 \Omega$

Which of the following was used to provide the oldest measurement of Earth's age?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Isotopic dating of meteor fragments

Explanation:

Earth is so old that its age can only be determined using isotopic dating. The oldest measurement of Earth's age was determined using isotopic dating of meteor fragments.

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a) 0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b) r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} }$

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Multiply and divide by $r1^{2}$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ x $\frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }$

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }$

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = $\frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

As we know from above, that:

$\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Then, Similarly,

$\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

So,

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ ) + (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Now, for

d) Under what conditions, E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x $r1^{2}$ = - σ2 x $r2^{2}$
