Brayden and Riku now use their skills to work a problem. Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and

the current through each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across an 8-V battery. Part (a) uses two resistors with resistance values that can be set with the animation sliders, and you can use the animation to verify your calculation. In part (b), three resistors are specified.
(a) Two resistors are connected in series across an 8-V battery. Let R1=4 Ω and R2=1 Ω.
(b) Add a third resistor to the circuit in series. Let R1=4 Ω, R2=1 Ω, and R3=1 Ω.

a) 5 \Omega, 1.6 A

b) 6 \Omega, 1.33 A

Explanation:

a)

In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:

R=R_1+R_2

where

R_1=4\Omega

R_2=1 \Omega

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

R=4+1=5 \Omega

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R=5\Omega is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

Substituting,

I=\frac{8}{5}=1.6 A

The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.

b)

In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is

R=R_1+R_2+R_3

where:

R_1=4\Omega\\R_2=1\Omega\\R_3=1\Omega

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

R=4+1+1=6 \Omega

Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R=6\Omega is the equivalent resistance

Substituting,

I=\frac{8}{6}=1.33 A

And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.

Most of an atom is empty space.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Iteru [2.4K]
 <span>Yes, the vast majority of an atom is indeed empty space. Most of it's mass is centered in the nucleus. Flying around the nucleus are the electrons, but they're very very far away (on an atomic level anyway). Most of the atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.</span>

Your answer is C. Unbalanced

unbalanced forces change the direction and speed of objects, therefore it would change the constant speed of an object in motion.

What things do different atoms have in common?<br><br> Thank you!
prohojiy [21]

Answer:They come in different kinds, called elements, but each atom shares certain characteristics in common. All atoms have a dense central core called the atomic nucleus. Forming the nucleus are two kinds of particles: protons, which have a positive electrical charge, and neutrons, which have no charge
