<u>Answer</u>: The potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the potential difference cross the resistor, we use Ohm's Law. This law states that the potential difference across two wires is directly proportional to the current flowing through that wire.

Mathematically,

$V\propto I\\V=IR$

Where,

V = potential difference = ?V

I = Current flowing = 1.2 A

R = Resistor = $10\Omega$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=1.2\times 10=12V$

Hence, the potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts

If you have 10.0 g of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?

Nat2105 [25]

The formula for the mass that remains:
$m=m_0 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{T}$
m₀ - the initial mass, t - time, T - the half-life

$m_0=10 \ g \\
T=14 \ d \\
t=42 \ d \\ \\
m=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{42}{14}=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^3=10 \times \frac{1}{8}=10 \times 0.125=1.25$

The answer is c. 1.25 g.
