Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c

urrent flowing in each branch of the circuit. Who is correct?

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 resistance of 1kΩ has a current of 0.25A throughout it when it is connected to the terminal of a battery. What is the potentia
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The potential difference across the resistor is 250 volts.

Explanation:

The potential difference V across the ends of the resistor is given by

V = IR

where I is the current through the resistor and R is is its resistance.

Now, in our case

R = 1.0*10^3\Omega,

I = 0.25 A;

therefore, the potential across is

V = 0.25A (1.0*10^3\Omega)

\boxed{V = 250volts.}

What type of modulation is typically used by broadcasting stations to transmit pictures on television screens?
erik [133]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Amplitude

Explanation:

When transmitting picture signals over the air by broadcasting stations, the signals are shifted into high frequency channels of Very High Frequency (VHF) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) carrier currents and imposing the the television signal by changing the amplitude of the high frequency carrier current to match the transmitted television signal waveform shape

What is the surface temperature of a star that has a peak wavelength of 290 nm?
Maksim231197 [3]
We need to use Wien's Law

Wavelength = 0.0028976 [m.K] / T

This establishes a relation between the wavelength and temperature of a black body (any body that absorbs radiation, such as the stars)

T = 0.0028976 [m.K]/290 E-9[m]  = 9991.724 K

In what factors sound can be heard​
MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Loudness of sound is a measure of response of sound to our ear. Loudness of sound is not simply the energy reaching the human ear, but it also tells about the sensitivity of human ear detecting this energy. Loudness of sound is measured in decibel (dB). As energy reaching the ear depends on square of amplitude, loudness of sound depends on various factors namely,

(i) Amplitude of sound waves

(ii) Sensitivity of ear

(iii) Distance from the source of the sound and the listener.

Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).
