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 function of the cell does cancer mainly affect?
ikadub [295]
Answer:

A) Cell Division

Explanation:

When someone has cancer their cells grow abnormally and spread very fast ( which is bad because these cells have cancer in them which spread around your body it’s why most people who are in late stages of cancer usually develop it in other places) . Normal body cells grow and divide and know to stop growing. Over time, they also die. Unlike these normal cells, cancer cells just continue to grow and divide out of control and don't die when they're supposed to.

Cancer cells usually group or clump together to form tumors.

Which statement concerning the reproductive cells in the diagram below is correct?
alexandr1967 [171]

The gametes that are produced contain half the actual number of chromosomes that are found in the organism.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The gametes are the units of sexual reproduction. These gametes are formed from the gamete mother cell by the process of meiosis. Meiosis actually convert a diploid cell into a haploid cell by reducing the chromosome number to half. So the genetic information of the gamete is also half to that of the other cells of that organism.

When two gametes fuse, they actually complete the full set of chromosomes and form a new organism which contains the characters according to the dominant and recessive basis. So offsprings are not completely similar to any of the parents.
