A simple circuit consists of a 100.-ohm resistor

If you want to make the total equivalent resistance as small as possible,
then you should connect the new resistor in parallel with the original one. 

When resistors are in parallel, then no matter how many of them there are
or what their individual values are, the total equivalent resistance is always
less than the smallest individual one.

For resistors in parallel .  . .

         (1 / total resistance) = (1/R₁) + (1/R₂) + (1/R₃) + . . . however many there are.

When there are only two resistors in parallel, you can take that formula, stretch it,
massage it, exercise it, manipulate it, and you find that

     Total equivalent resistance = (product of the resistors) / (sum of the resistors) .

With 100 ohms and 25 ohms in parallel,

     Total equivalent resistance = (100 x 25) / (100 + 25) = 2,500/125 = <em>20 ohms</em>.

Why will light from the sun change the color of the cloth when the light from the desk lamp does not
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Because the sun gives off a type of light that carries energy, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Explanation:

All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.

How does a substance's temperatura chanté when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases? When it decreases?
Aleks [24]
Kinetic energy means movement. This means that the more something moves, the more kinetic energy it will have! And the faster something moves, the more heat it produces! Altogether, this means that the more Kinetic energy something has, the hotter it will be!

The opposite is also true. The less something moves, it will have less Kinetic energy and the colder it will get. 

If you're having trouble understanding this, think of it like how the particles in water move compared to how the particles in ice move. The particles in water are free flowing and can move wherever they want. If they get colder, they won't move as much, and eventually they'll stop flowing around, forming a solid and staying colder than the water will get.
