Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

Answer:

The ratio of electric current in series and in parallel connection is 0.0625

Explanation:

Here we have for the series resistors

∑R_s = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄ = 8 Ω

The current is gotten from

V = IR

I_s = V/R_s = V/8 Ω

For the parallel connected resistors we have

\frac{1}{\Sigma R_p} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+\frac{1}{R_4}

Which gives

\frac{1}{\Sigma R_p} = \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

Therefore,

\Sigma R_p = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\hspace{0.09cm} \Omega

From which,

I_p=\frac{V}{R_p} = V/0.5 Ω

The ratio between the series and parallel connection electric current  is therefore,

\frac{I_s}{I_p} = \frac{\frac{V}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} }{\frac{V}{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} }  = \frac{V}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} \times \frac{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}{V}  = \frac{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}  = 0.0625.

A tiny particle with charge + 5.0 μC is initially moving at 55 m/s. It is then accelerated through a potential difference of 500
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

ΔK.E = 2.5 × 10⁻³ J

Explanation:

Given data in the question, we have:

Charge of the particle, q = 5.0 μC = 5 × 10 ⁻⁶ C

Initial speed of the particle, v = 55 m/s

The potential difference, ΔV = 500 V

Now, the gain in kinetic energy is given as

ΔK.E = q × ΔV

on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

ΔK.E = 5 × 10 ⁻⁶ C × 500 V

or

ΔK.E = 2.5 × 10⁻³ J

Which of the following best describes the circuit shown below?
Irina18 [472]
The circuit that best describes the circuit shown in the image is an open circuit. 

As you can see on the diagram,the circuit is not complete. At the upper right-hand corner, the wire is not connected. This means that the pathway is open.

Does a car accelerate when it goes around a corner at a constant speed?
Evgen [1.6K]
Yes, it does. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is the rate of change of position with a given direction i.e. speed with direction.So even though the speed of the turning car is constant the velocity is not. This means that the velocity is changing, and the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. Hence, the car is accelerating.
