<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>

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces

Explanation:

                   The main view of the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s was that the mountains were formed by the vertical forces of nature.

                    The early people prior to 1960s believed in many different natural phenomenons and they give their own reasons for their occurrence. But later many researchers and geophysicists studied the formation of the earth and came with possible answers to these questions.

Thus the answer is  

" It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces."

Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva??
Brums [2.3K]
<h3>Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva?</h3>

  • Es normal que los quemadores superiores de una estufa eléctrica o una estufa se enciendan y apaguen en configuraciones distintas a Hi. El quemador se encenderá y apagará más de lo normal cuando se utilizan cacerolas que no son planas o que son del tamaño incorrecto para el quemador.

How is power defined? Question 4 options: the quantity of work accomplished the direction of the work the total distance an obje
GarryVolchara [31]

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is accomplished.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3></h3><h3>Power </h3>

The work done by an object in a given time interval is called the power of that object.

Suppose an external force F is applied to any object for the time interval T seconds. Due to this external force, the object will perform some amount of work for the time T seconds. This work W done by the object for the time interval T seconds is called the power of that object.

Power can be defined in mathematical term which is given below.

P = \dfrac {W}{T} \;\rm Watts

Thus the power can also be defined as the work done by the object per unit time interval.

Hence we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.

To know more about power, follow the link given below.
