Well, to be broken down, resistance is the opposition that a substance offers to the flow of an electric current.

What would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased, but the resistance stayed the same would be this:
The current, being directly proportional to the voltage, would increase, causing the light bulb to increase I'm brilliance, which means: it would simply become brighter.

Hope I helped you out!

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Nima and Natasha are absolutely correct.

Explanation:

When connecting two resistors in series, their resistances add:

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}

which means that whenever we add a resistance in series, their magnitudes will add, giving us a resistance that is greater than the original resistance, which will demand less current from the battery because of ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

So, the greater the resistance, the smaller the current.

When connecting two resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of ther resistances add:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}

or

R_{eq}=\frac{R_{1}R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}

The equivalent resistance will always be less than the smallest resistor in the circuit, so the equivalent resistance will always decrease as more resistors are added. A decrease in the resistance means that the current will increase.

Answer:

3.91

Explanation:

Given that

Final reading of the voltmeter, V2 = 45 v

Initial reading of the voltmeter, V1 = 11.5 v

The dielectric constant k, of a material is usually given as

k = V2/V1

k = 45 / 11.5

k = 3.91

Therefore, the dielectric constant of the material as we've calculated above is sure to be 3.91.

I hope that helps you understand

Two boxes need to be moved into storage. Jamal and Jude each want to move a box. The force of gravity on both the boxes is 50 N.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

If both are trying to get the box into storage and they can only  use lifting to do it, then Jude won't be able to do it. This assumes they cannot slide the boxes. Jude is not using enough force to overcome gravity so the box will just sit.

On the other hand Jamel is putting enough force to not only lift the box but it will move upwards against gravity. If we ignore that fact, then Jamel will get his box into storage.
