Answer: diode

Explanation: A diode is an electronic device that has the ability to work in 1 direction of electric current.

At forward bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the source and negative terminal to the negative of the source) the diode allows current to flow thus acting as a close switch.

At reverse bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the source and the negative terminal of the diode to the positive terminal of the source) the diode stops question from flowing thus acting like an open circuit or an open switch

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges.  Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

PLEASE HELP !! A 10 ohm resistor is connected to a 9V battery how much current is flowing through the circuit?
kompoz [17]

Resitance (R)= 10 Ohm

Potential difference (V) = 9V

V= IR

I= V/R

I= 9/10

I= 0.9 Ampere

Therefore 0.9 Ampere of current is flowing through the circuit.
