Yes, that's correct. That's a big part of the reason why
the soap floats in water and the sponge sinks in it.
The total charge that passes through an electrolytic cell is given by the product of current and time.
An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that utilizes an external source of electrical energy (voltage applied between two electrodes) to drive a chemical reaction that would not otherwise occur. This is in contrast to a galvanic cell, which itself is a source of electrical energy and the foundation of a battery.
The net reaction taking place in a galvanic cell is a spontaneous reaction, i.e. the Gibbs free energy remains negative, while the net reaction taking place in an electrolytic cell is the reverse of this spontaneous reaction, i.e. the Gibbs free energy is positive.
An electrolytic cell has three components: an electrolyte and two electrodes (a cathode and an anode). The electrolyte is usually a solution of water or other solvents in which ions are dissolved.
Molten salts such as sodium chloride can also function as electrolytes. When driven by an external voltage applied to the electrodes, the ions in the electrolyte are attracted to an electrode with the opposite charge, where charge-transferring (also called faradaic or redox) reactions can take place.
Only with an external electrical potential (i.e., voltage) of correct polarity and sufficient magnitude can an electrolytic cell decompose a normally stable, or inert chemical compound in the solution. The electrical energy provided can produce a chemical reaction which would not otherwise occur spontaneously.

Answer:
Rp = 10 Ohms; I = 0.9 Amps
Explanation:
Since, there are two resistors each with 20Ω connected in parallel, the total resistance of the combination (Rp) of the circuit is as follows:
i.e 1/Rp = (1/R1 + 1/R2)
1/Rp = (1/20Ω + 1/20Ω)
1/Rp = (1 + 1)/20Ω
1/Rp = 2/20Ω
1/Rp = 1/10Ω
To get the value of Rp, cross multiply
Rp x 1 = 10Ω x 1
Rp = 10Ω
Apply the formula
Voltage V = Current I x Total resistance Rp
I = V/Rp
I = 9V/10Ω
I = 0.9 Amps
Thus, the total resistance is 10 Ohms, the current through the ammeter is 0.9 Amps
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it must also be zero.
The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.
Hence, the given statement is true.
