<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>

A copper cylinder is initially at 21.1 ∘C . At what temperature will its volume be 0.163 % larger than it is at 21.1 ∘C?
fomenos

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the final volume of a body after undergoing a thermal expansion. To determine the temperature, we will use the given relationship as well as the theoretical value of the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion of copper. This is, for example to the initial volume defined as V_1, the relation with the final volume as

V_2 = V_1 +0.163\% V_1

V_2 = V_1 +0.00163V_1

V_2 = 1.00163V_1

Initial temperature = 21.1\°C

Let T be the temperature after expanding by the formula of volume expansion

we have,

V_2 = V_1 (1+\gamma \Delta t)

Where \gamma is the volume coefficient of copper 5.1*10^{-5}/C

1.00163V_1 = V_1(1+\gamma(T-21.1\°))

1.00163 = 1+5.1*10^{-5}(T-21.1\°)

0.00163 = 0.000051T-0.0010761

T = 53.0608\°C

Therefore the temperature is 53.06°C

What is denser medium?​
abruzzese [7]

Answer: A medium in which speed of light is more is known as optically rarer medium and a medium in which speed of light is less is said to be optically denser medium. For example in air and water, air is raer and water is a denser medium.

leonid [27]

155Ω

Explanation:

R = R ref ( 1 + ∝ ( T - Tref)  

where R = conduction resistance at temperature T

R ref = conductor resistance at reference temperature

∝ = temperature coefficient of resistance for conductor

T = conduction temperature in degrees Celsius

T ref = reference temperature that ∝ is specified at for the conductor material

T = 600 k - 273 k = 327 °C

Tref = 300 - 273 K = 27 °C

R = 50 Ω ( 1 + 0.007 ( 327 - 27) )

R = 155Ω
