Answer:

The total resistance is 7.0588\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached please find the circuit diagram. The circuit is composed by a voltage source and two resistors connected in parallel: R_1=10\Omega and R_2=24\Omega.

First step: find the total current

For finding the current that the voltage source can provide, you must find the current consumed by each load and then add both. To do that, take first into account that the voltage is the same for both resistors (R_1 and R_2).

  • I_{R_1}=\frac{V_S}{R_1}
  • I_{R_2}=\frac{V_S}{R_2}

The total current is:

I_{TOTAL}=I_{R_1}+I_{R_2}=\frac{V_S}{R_1}+\frac{V_S}{R_2}=\frac{R_2\cdot V_S+R_1\cdot V_S}{R_1\cdot R_2}

I_{TOTAL}=V_S\cdot \frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1\cdot R_2}

Now, the total resistance (R_{TOTAL}) would be the voltage divided by the total current:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{V_S}{I_{TOTAL}}

If you replace I_{TOTAL} by the expression obtained previously, the total resistance would be:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{V_S}{V_S\cdot \frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1\cdot R_2}}

After simplifying the terms you should get:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1 + R_2}}

Now, you must replace the values of the resistors:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{(10\Omega )\cdot (24\Omega)}{10\Omega + 24\Omega}}=\frac{120}{17}\Omega=7.0588\Omega

Thus, the total resistance is 7.0588\Omega

Exponential Growth and Decay The expressions below represent either exponential growth or exponential decay. Check all the expre
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

First one: 5x3(0.75)2t

and fourth one: 0.05x500(0.005)t

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have an exponencial decay, the rate of the exponencial function needs to be lesser than 1.

The rate is the value between parenthesis, so in the first equation, the rate is 0.75, so this is an exponencial decay.

The second equation has rate = 2.4, so this is not an exponencial decay.

The third equation has rate = 1.04, so this is not an exponencial decay.

The fourth equation has rate = 0.005, so this is an exponencial decay.

Find the measure of angle x
Triss [41]

Answer:

it is heptagon and sum of interior angles of heptagon is 900 °

123°+131°+ 125°+124°+x 129°+132° = 900°

764° +x = 900 °

x = 900°-764°

x = 136°
