Answer:

The power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

Explanation:

Given;

three identical resistors connected in series

let the first resistor = R₁

let the second resistor = R₂

let the third resistor = R₃

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Since the resistors are identical, thus, R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R

Rt = 3R

Power is given as;

P = IV = V² / R

P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{V^2}{3R} \\\\3P = \frac{V^2}{R} ------equation(i)

If the 3 identical resistor connection were changed to parallel, then the equivalent resistance in the circuit will be;

\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \\\\But, R_1 = R_2 = R_3\\\\\\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} \\\\\frac{1}{R_t} =\frac{3}{R} \\\\R_t = \frac{R}{3} \\\\P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{3V^2}{R} \\\\P_{parallel} = \frac{3V^2}{R} ---------equation (ii)\\\\From \ equation \ (i), 3P_{series} = \frac{V^2}{R}, Substitute \ this \ into \ equation \ (ii)\\\\P = 3(\frac{V^2}{R} )\\\\P = 3(3P)\\\\P_{parallel} = 9P_{series}\\\\P_{parallel} = 9(45)\\\\

P_{parallel} = 405 \ W

Therefore, the power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

penguins! so momentum is based on mass and velocity, the advantages is that they have stored mass in the form of like fats to keep them warm however they are built to slide basically so that there is less friction when they travel so sideways their bullet like shape helps increase velocity so they have both mass and considerable velocity!

Why is heat acclimatization important?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Heat acclimatization :

   It is the biological adaptations or we can say that it coverts according to the present environment.It also reduce the strain and maintain the normal temperature and heart rate.Heat acclimatization also increase the comfort and reduce all the mental strain and also protect out liver ,muscles ,kidneys and brain fro the injury.
