Answer:

V=IR

since the circuit is parallel both resistor have same voltage and different current value according to OHMs law.

total resistance in parallel=

1/R=1/R1+1/R2+...+1/Rn

since we have two resistor in parallel

Rt=R1R2/R1+R2

2*4/2+4=4/3 ohms

I=V/R

12/4/3=36/4=9Amp

OR

I=12/2=6amp

I=12/4=3amp

total current

I=6+3

9amp

How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
Llana [10]

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles. As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed. Therefore the vibration is quicker in solids than liquids.

Hope it helps you! :)
