Answer:

2ohms resistor

Explanation:

According to ohms law

V= IR

V is the potential difference

I is the current

R is the resistance

Since they have the same potential difference, this shows that they are connected in parallel

Let assume V = 20V

For the 4ohms resistor

I = V/R

I = 20/4

I = 5A

For the two ohms resistor

I = V/R

I = 20/2

I = 10A

This shows that the 2ohms resistor will have the bigger current because the smaller the load, the bigger the current and vice versa

Using parallax, what is the distance to the<br> farthest stars you can measure?
aev [14]
Parallax angles of less than 0.01 arcsec are very difficult to measure from Earth because of the effects of the Earth's atmosphere. This limits Earth based telescopes to measuring the distances to stars about 1/0.01 or 100 parsecs away.

In terms of positive and negative charges what causes lightning?
erik [133]

Answer:

Electrostatic Discharge during the equalization of the separated positively and negatively charged electrostatic charges in the storm clouds.

Explanation:

In nature, lightning occurs during the discharge of the large charges contained in the separated positively and negatively particles in the atmosphere in the process equalizing (neutralizing) of the charges, leading to the release of instantaneous energy in the form of heat, light and sound

During a storm, as the clouds mixes by the wind with different densities, they rub each other forming electrostatic charges. The lighter positively charged particles rise to the top clouds while the heavier negatively charged particles move to the bottom. The charges continue to add up to a point where their magnitudes is large enough such that a big spark or lightening occurs between the positive and negative charges during the process of re-equalization of the charges to revert to neutrality.

A material that provides resistance to the flow of electric current is called a(n)
enyata [817]

Th correct answer to this question would be, Insulator. Notice in the question it says "Material". The question is basically asking, What item resists the flow of and electric current. A resistor is a device that suppose to strain the electric  current. And resistance is the measure of how well the material can conduct an electric charge. With all of that being stated, Insulator materials include paper, dry wood, rubber, glass, ect. Insulator products provides resistance.

Make sure you read the questions very carefully.

Give the symbols for 4 species that are isoelectronic with the telluride ion, te2-.
Llana [10]
<span>Answer: Chlorine has 17 electrons therefore for 1+ and 2+ we need the atoms that have 18 and 19 electrons these are argon and potassium: Ar+ and K 2+ For 1- and 2- we need the atoms that have 16 and 15 electrons and these are sulfur and phosphorus, S- and P 2-. Note that + ions imply the loss of electrons and - ions equate to the gain of electrons.</span>
