As more and more resistors are added in parallel to a circuit, the equivalent resistance of the circuit ____________ (increases,

decreases) and the total current of the circuit ____________ (increases, decreases).

Answer:

Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

Resistance is parallel can be calculated using

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.  

Let use a simple sample

Let all the resistor have equal resistances

Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn

Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn

Req = R/n

Check attachment on how I got that.

This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1

So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.

B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases

Using Ohms law

V = iR

Then, I = V/R

So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.

So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit

First off, you need to know the weight of the projectile, lift and drag coefficients something like a high Reynolds number is preferred, then use the gravitational constant of 9.8 meters per second squared those would be a good start to get closer to your goal

What is the current through a 11v bulb with a power of 99w
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.01amp

Explanation:

Power = V^2/R

Given that v = 11volts, P = 99watts

99 = 11^2/R

11×11 = 99R

121= 99R

R = 121/99

R= 1.22ohms

From ohms Law; V = IR

11volts = I × 1.22ohms

I = 11/1.23

I = 9.01 amp

2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick  = 7.9kg

Height of building  = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

 

         P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

  Insert the given parameters and solve;

        P.E  = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22  = 1703.24J

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.890 kg, exert a gravitational force of 8.06 × 10−11 n on each other. how far apart are the ball
Bond [772]
This problem involves Newton's universal law of gravitation and the equation to follow would be.

F = GM₁M₂/r²  

Given: M₁ = 0.890 Kg;  M₂ = 0.890 Kg;  F = 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N; G = 6.673 X 10⁻¹¹ N m²/Kg²

Solving for distance r = ?

r = √GM₁M₂/F

r = √(6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m₂/Kg²)(0.890 Kg)(0.890 Kg)/ 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N

r = 0.81 m
