Answer:
(1) 2 ohms
(2) 12 Volts Across each resistor
(3) I₁ = 3 A, I₂ = 2 A, I₃ = 1 A
Explanation:
From the question,
(1) Equilvalent Resistance (Rt) for parallel connection is
1/Rt =(1/R₁)+ (1/R₂) + (1/R₃)
Where R₁ = 4 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms, R₃ = 12 ohms
1/Rt = 1/4 +1/6 +1/12
1/Rt = (3+2+1)/12
1/Rt = 6/12
1/Rt = 1/2
Rt = 2 ohms.
(2) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, They will have the same potential difference across them,
Hence the P.d across each resistor = 12 Volts.
(3) For R₁,
I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/4
I₁ = 3 A.
For R₂,
I₂ = V/R₂
I₂ = 12/6
I₂ = 2 A
For R₃,
I₃ = V/R₃
I₃ = 12/12
I₃ = 1 A
Answer:
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. its SI unit is: kg/m³
Explanation:
Answer: The statement "The charge cannot be created or destroyed describes the principle of the conservation of charge".
Explanation:
According to the conservation of charge, the charge can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transferred from one system to another.
In an isolated system, the total electric charge remains constant. The net quantity of electric charge is always conserved in the universe.
Therefore, "the charge cannot be created or destroyed" describes the principle of the conservation of charge.
