Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

A positively charged sphere with a charge of 8Q is separated from a negatively charged sphere -2Q by a distance r. There is an a
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the first case , the expression for electrostatic force can be given by the following .

F = K x 8Q x 2Q / r² where k is a constant .

F = K 16 Q² / r²

When they touch , some charge is neutralized . Net charge remaining

= 8Q - 2 Q = 6 Q

Charge on each sphere = 6Q/2 = 3 Q .

Force between them

F₁ = k 3Q x 3 Q / r² = k 9 Q² / r²

F₁ / F = 9 / 16

F₁ = 9 F / 16 .

When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down, which statement is true?
Svetach [21]
When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down ...

-- that's the fastest it's going to swing, so its kinetic energy is maximum;
and
-- that's the lowest it's going to get, so its potential energy is minimum.

'c' is your choice.
