Consider three different resistors connected to a battery in parallel.

Physics

Answer:

c) All choices listed are definitely true.

Explanation:

a)

  • As they are connected in parallel, the voltage drop is equal in all the resistors, by definition of a parallel connection, and equal to the terminal voltage of the battery (assuming that the internal resistance of the battery is negligible).

b)

  • Applying Ohm's law to the circuit, we arrive to the following expression:

        I_{tot} = I_{1} +I_{2} + I_{3}  \\  I_{tot} =\frac{V}{Req} = \frac{V}{R_{1}} +\frac{V}{R_{2} }  +\frac{V}{R_{3}}

  • Simplifying common terms, we have:

       \frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} +\frac{1}{R_{2} }  +\frac{1}{R_{3}}

  • It can be seen that the equivalent resistance, is less than any of the resistances.

d)

  • Due to the charge conservation principle, as the current is made from moving charges, the sum of the currents passing through these resistors is equal to the current passing through the battery (KCL).

which of these is an example of a biotic factor that could affect the size of a population A-climate b-disease c-a natural disas
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hey there!

Biotic factors are living organisms. This includes plants, animals, and bacteria. Climate, water, and natural disasters are abiotic factors, which means they are nonliving factors that affect the environment. Disease is caused by bacteria, which is a biotic factor.

Therefore, your answer is B) Disease.

Hope this helps!

The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
aleksley [76]

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.
