<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

<span>The formula for calculating total resistance is 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Inputting the values given in the question, this formula becomes: 1/Rt = 1/12 + 1/4, which is 0.3 recurring. Therefore the answer is A, 0.333 Ohms. </span>

What accounts for most of the mass in the universe?
aev [14]
Around 80 percent  of the mass of the universe is made up material known as "Dark matter". It does not emit light or energy but the influence of it can be detected or observed gravitationally. Motions of stars and galaxy tell us how much mater there is, but somehow the speed of rotation of galaxy does not add up to its mass alone, there is a certain amount of matter really not accounted for. Dark matter maybe made up of non-baryonic matter, or perhaps what scientist called the WIMPS or (weakly interacting massive particles.)

Metals are good conductors of electric current for which of the following reasons?They possess high concentrations of protonsThe
KatRina [158]

The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

0.92 μC

Explanation:

In a parallel-plate capacitor, the electric field formed is equal to the charge density divited by the vacuum permisivity e0, as there are no dielectric between the plates. e0 is equal to 8.85*10^-12 C^2/Nm^2. The charge density is the total charge of each individual plate divided by its area. Then, the maximum charge allowed will be equal to:

E = \frac{o}{e_0} = \frac{Q}{Ae_0} \\ Q = E*A*e_0 = 3*10^6 N/C * (0.25*\pi *(0.21m)^2)*8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2 = 9.196 *10^{-7} C

or 0.92 μC
