Only wire is necessary.

A switch is only needed if you want to be able to turn the current on and off easily.

A resistor is only needed if you want to generate some heat or limit the current.

All the components (D) ie, wire, switch and resistor are needed for current to flow in a series or parallel circuit.
In a simple series circuit, all the components are connected end-to-end to form a single path for the electrons or electric current to flow through the circuit. A simple parallel circuit is where all the components in the circuit are connected between the same two sets of common points, creating a more than one path for the electrons or electric current to flow around the circuit.

Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy of photon having wavelength of 400 nm = 1237.5/400 eV

= 3.1 eV.

Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons = 1.1 eV .

Threshold energy Ф = 3.1 - 1.1 = 2 eV .

energy of photons having wavelength of 310 nm = 1237.5 / 310 eV = 4 eV .

Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons = energy of photons - Threshold energy

= 4 - 2 = 2 eV .

Required kinetic energy K₀= 2 eV.

A physical science test book has a mass of 2.2 kg. what is the weight on the Earth

Step2247 [10]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity).

On Earth, acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s² (rounded)

On Earth, 2.2kg of mass weighs (2.2kg) x (9.8 m/s²) =

21.6 kg-m/s² = <em>21.6 Newtons</em>.

(That's about 4.85 pounds.)
