A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance

of the first device is 12 ohms, the resistance of the second device is 4 ohms, and the voltage developed by the generator is 40 V. What is the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device?

Parallel circuits are circuits when placed in a parallel position. Meaning that for each device, they have their own branch. The voltage that is received in the circuit is equal to the individual devices. The total current is equal to the current of each device. The resistance is the reciprocal of the resistances of each device combined.  

Given:
Device 1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 = 4 ohms
Voltage total = 40V  

Required:
Current at 12 ohms  

Solution:
40V = V1 =V2  

Since V =IR
I1 = V1/R1
I1 = (40V)/(12 ohms)
<span><u>I1 = 3.334 A(Amperes)</u></span>

What causes the patterns of convection cycles in the lithosphere?<br> DETAIL ( 2 SENTENCES )
Dahasolnce [82]
Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. In fact, oceanic lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer for the convection[9] in the mantle. The thickness of the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere can be approximated as a thermal boundary layer that thickens as the square root of time.

A cell has undergone determination to become an endocrine gland cell. if it is transplanted to a leg muscle, what do you think w
Leviafan [203]

The endocrine gland cell will grow as an endocrine gland cell in the leg muscle when it is transplanted to a leg muscle.

<h3>What is determination of cell?</h3>

A fundamental part of cell determination is the ability of cells to detect different chemicals within different regions of the embryo.

One well-studied example of the molecular basis of cell determination and differentiation involves the development of mature muscle cells in vertebrates.

<h3>What is endocrine gland cell?</h3>

An endocrine gland is organ that makes hormones that are released directly into the blood and travel to tissues and organs all over the body.

Thus, what will happen to cell that has undergone determination to become an endocrine gland cell is the endocrine gland cell will grow as an endocrine gland cell in the leg muscle.

Why do island chains provide ideal conditions for adaptive radiation to occur?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The comparatively fast evolution of various species from a single common ancestor is known as adaptive radiation. It usually takes place when an organism enters a novel region and distinct traits influence its survival. The island chain offers suitable conditions for adaptive radiation to take place as when an organism of a certain species comes to an island together and get disperse all through the chain, and each of these organisms getting settle into distinct niches and exploiting various food resources in order to minimize the competition, thus, resulting into adaptive radiation.

Mila [183]
Hi!

It's interesting to note that evolution is a <em>proven fact</em>. It is also interesting to note that a <em>theory </em>can be a <em>proven fact. </em>

So, with this in mind, the idea of evolution by natural selection is a <em>theory. </em>A theory cannot become a law! 

It also isn't a hypothesis, as it is far beyond that. A hypothesis is just what you think will happen in an experiment.

This is a theory!

Hopefully, this helps! =)
