A method of investigation in which a problem is first identified and observations, experiments, or other relevant data are then used to construct or test hypotheses that purport to solve it.
Answer: The correct answer is "the same as the sum".
Explanation:
The expression for the equivalent resistance in the series combination of the circuit is as follows;

Here, R' is the equivalent resistance,
are the resistances.
The expression for the equivalent resistance in the parallel combination of the circuit is as follows;

Here, R' is the equivalent resistance,
are the resistances.
In the series combination of the circuit, the equivalent resistance is more than the equivalent resistance in the parallel combination of the circuit.
In the series combination of the circuit, the same amount of current flows across the resistance but the voltage is different across the resistances.
Therefore, for resistor in series, the equivalent resistance is the same as the sum.
Answer:
2 L, L, 2 L/3
Explanation:
For a pipe of length l open at both ends, the length of the pipe is given by :

or

For first pitch tone, n = 1

For first pitch tone, n = 2


For first pitch tone, n = 3


So, the wavelengths of the three lowest-pitch tones produced by this pipe are 2 L, L, 2 L/3 respectively. Hence, the correct option is (d)
Applicable linear expansion equation:
ΔL = αΔTL
In which
ΔL = change in length, α = Linear expansion coefficient of steel, ΔT = change in temperature, L = original length
Therefore,
ΔL = 12*10^-6*(18.5-(-3))*1410 = 0.36378 m
