Answer:

Explanation:

For resistance of a wire , the formula is as follows .

R = ρ L/S

where ρ is specific resistance , L is length and S is cross sectional area of wire .

for first wire resistance

R₁ =  ρ 3L/3a = ρ L/a

for second wire , resistance

R₂ = ρ 3L/6a

= .5 ρ L/a

For 3 rd wire resistance

R₃ = ρ 6L/3a

= 2ρ L/a

For fourth wire , resistance

R₄ = ρ 6L/6a

=  ρ L/a

So the smallest resistance is of second wire .

Its resistance is .5 ρ L/a

What is the current when a typical static charge of 0.234~\mu\text{c}0.234 μc moves from your finger to a metal doorknob in 0.59
Black_prince [1.1K]
The current is defined as the quantity of charge Q that passes through a certain location in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Using the data of the problem, we find:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{0.234 \mu C}{0.595 \mu s}=\frac{0.234\cdot 10^{-6} C}{0.595 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=0.39 A

In comparing sunspots to other areas of the sun's surface one can say that sunspots are...?
taurus [48]

Answer:

D. Cooler

Explanation:

The Sun's surface has a temperature ranging from 6 000 Kelvin, thus it is very hot. The radioactive reaction in the core of the Sun is a nuclear fusion reaction. This reaction ensures continuous release of high energy from the surface of the Sun.

But during the reaction, some parts becomes cooler than other parts on its surface. Which is due to the release of high amount of energy into space. The Sun's spot can be found in the cooler part of the Sun.
