ou are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batter

y. The first piece has a length L and cross-sectional area A. The second is twice as long as the first, but has the same thickness. The third is the same length as the first, but has twice the cross-sectional area. Rank the wires in order of which carries the most current (has the lowest resistance) when connected to batteries with the same voltage difference. Rank the wires from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance). ResetHelp Least Current

Answer:

 i₃ >  i₁ > i₂

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the resistance ratio

        R = ρ \frac{l}{A}

where ρ is the resistivity of the wire, in this case it is the same for all three cases, l the length and A the area of ​​the wire.

We have three cases

a) length    l = L

  area       A = A

b) length   l = 2L

    area    A = A

c) length  l = L

   area    A = 2A

we calculate the resistance for each case

a) R₁ = ρ  L / A

b) R₂ = ρ 2L / A

   R₂ = 2 ρ L / A

   R₂ = 2 R₁

c) R₃ = ρ  L / 2A

   R₃ = ½ ρ L / A

   R₃ = 0.5 R₁

therefore when the connect of the circuit is carried out we can use ohm's law

         V = i R

          i = V / R

whereby

a)  i₁ = V / R₁

b)  i₂ = V / 2R₁

    i₂ = ½ i₁

    i₂ = 0.5 i₁

c)  i₃ = V / 0.5 R₁

    i₃ = 2 I₁

the order from highest to lowest in the current is

           i₃ >  i₁ > i₂

OlgaM077 [116]
The IRB at the university will decide whether her study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The importance of these codes of conduct is to safeguard research participants, the status of psychology and the researchers or psychologists themselves. Moral issues hardly yield a simple, unequivocal, right or wrong answer. It is consequently often a matter of judgment whether the research is justified or not. For instance, it might be that a study roots psychological or physical uneasiness to participants, maybe they agonize pain or maybe even come to solemn harm.

Refractive index of water is 1.3. calculate the speed of light in water.​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The speed of light is faster in water. The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in water.

1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen
Klio2033 [76]

The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.

The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.

The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .
