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)

What causes populations to complete
Neko [114]

Answer:

Exponential growth assumes that environmental factors like food, water supply, space, shelter, disease organisms, predators, weather conditions, and natural disasters do not affect the birth or death rate. As long as birth rate exceeds death rate (even slightly) population size will increase exponentially.

Which path through the carbon cycle is possible?
arlik [135]

Answer:

Plant to animal to atmosphere.

Explanation:

  • The carbon cycle describes the recycling of carbon from and back to the atmosphere.
  • Plants utilize the carbondioxide present in the atmosphere to produce carbohydrates in the presence of light through the process of photosynthesis.
  • When plants are consumed by animals, the carbon becomes a part of the animal.
  • Animals break down glucose molecules into energy (ATP), releasing water and carbondioxide in a process called cellular respiration.
  • This carbondioxide, as it is useless for animal cells, is released back into the atmosphere through gaseous exchange in the lungs.

Why are estuaries ranked among the environments most affected by humans
neonofarm [45]
Answer: . Estuaries rank high on the list of the most heavily impacted aquatic systems on earth. This is largely attributed to accelerating population growth and development in the coastal zone and escalating use of estuarine resources.
