The current in a series circuit is 19.3 A. When an additional 7.40-Ω resistor is inserted in series, the current drops to 13.4 A
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

16.8ohms

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which states that the current passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.

Mathematically, V = IRt where;

V is the voltage across the circuit

I is the current

R is the effective resistance

For a series connected circuit, same current but different voltage flows through the resistors.

If the initial current in a circuit is 19.3A,

V = 19.3R... (1)

When additional resistance of 7.4-Ω is added and current drops to 13.4A, our voltage in the circuit becomes;

V = 13.4(7.4+R)... (2)

Note that the initial resistance is added to the additional resistance because they are connected in series.

Equating the two value of the voltages i.e equation 1 and 2 to get the resistance in the original circuit we will have;

19.3R = 13.4(7.4+R)

19.3R = 99.16+13.4R

19.3R-13.4R = 99.16

5.9R = 99.16

R= 99.16/5.9

R = 16.8ohms

The resistance in the original circuit will be 16.8ohms

Energy can be changed from one form to another. Which terms can be used to describe these changes? Select all that apply.
aliya0001 [1]

Energy is the capacity to do work. Energy exists in various forms in the entire universe.

It  may be light,sound,electric,magnetic,kinetic,potential,thermal energy etc.

As per the law of conservation of energy, it is neither created not destroyed. It can change from one form to another form.The total energy of the universe is always constant.

The process in which energy will change from one form to another form is called energy conversion.

There is also another terminology for energy conversion called energy transformation.

Energy transference is the process in which energy will be transferred from one body to another body.

Hence the correct answer to this question will be conversion and transformation

At high elevations or high latitudes, some of the water that falls on land does not immediately soak in , run off, evaporate or
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The water is stored in ice sheets and as snow

Explanation:

Temperature reduces with an increase in altitudes. The standard laps rate is 6.5°C per 1,000 m gained in elevation

At very high elevations, therefore,  the air is usually very cold such that when an elevation of 4,500 meters is reached at the equator, it is possible to observe snowfall and the water remain temporarily stored on the surface of the mountain as ice and snow
