What is the total current in a parallel circuit containing a 12-V battery, a 2 Ω resistor, and a 4 Ω resistor?

Physics

deff fn [24]2 years ago
7 0

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

Why does Quito, Equator has very little changes to the daylight hours<br> throughout the year?
marin [14]

Because of the position on the equator, the change in rotation of the Earth on its axis throughout the year doesn't affect it much. Unlike the poles, Quito is almost constantly in direct view of the sun. So, because of lack of change in rotation, the daylight hours are hardly varied as Quito is almost constantly in more or less the same spot in relation to the sun.

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.1 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
malfutka [58]

The pressure at a certain depth underwater is:

P = ρgh

P = pressure, ρ = sea water density, g = gravitational acceleration near Earth, h = depth

The pressure exerted on the submarine window is:

P = F/A

P = pressure, F = force, A = area

The area of the circular submarine window is:

A = π(d/2)²

A = area, d = diameter

Set the expressions for the pressure equal to each other:

F/A = ρgh

Substitute A:

F/(π(d/2)²) = ρgh

Isolate h:

h = F/(ρgπ(d/2)²)

Given values:

F = 1.1×10⁶N

ρ = 1030kg/m³ (pulled from a Google search)

g = 9.81m/s²

d = 30×10⁻²m

Plug in and solve for h:

h = 1.1×10⁶/(1030(9.81)π(30×10⁻²/2)²)

h = 1540m

A girl stands on the edge of a merry-go-round of radius 1.71 m. If the merry go round uniformly accerlerates from rest to 20 rpm
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a = 0.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

initially the merry go round is at rest

after 6.73 s the merry go round will accelerates to 20 rpm

so final angular speed is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi ( \frac{20}{60})

\omega = 2.10 rad/s

so final tangential speed is given as

v = r\omega

v = 1.71 (2.10) = 3.58 m/s

now average acceleration of the girl is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{3.58 - 0}{6.73}

a = 0.53 m/s^2

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of earth?
dexar [7]

Explanation:

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of Earth? The tidal bulges occur on both sides of Earth that are aligned with the tide-generating body. The ocean water experiencing high tide rotates around Earth on a 12-hour cycle.
