Why does the current splits in parallel circuit and why does the voltage remains equal?​

<u>Voltage:</u>

It is basically the difference between the charges of the materials on the ends of the Wire

<em>also known as potential difference</em>

It is very similar to the movement of air, it moves from higher density to lower density. in this case, the change in density is the potential difference

So, since voltage is the difference between the charge available on the ends of a wire. Even if the wire splits in parallel circuit, the difference of the charges remains the same

<em>the more the potential difference, the faster electrons will move to the material with lower charge</em>

<u>Current:</u>

Current is the amount of electrons moving through a cross-section of a wire in a period of time

So basically, it is the amount of electrons that move across a given point on a wire in a period of time

If the wire splits, we will have the same amount of electrons moving through as they would if the wire was not split but now, the electrons passing are divided and hence, if we measure the current after the split, we will find that we have a lower current

that's because we have less charge moving through the cross-section of the wire since some of those electrons are moving through a different wire

That's why the current splits in a parallel circuit

At which point or points does the pendulum have the greatest kinetic energy?
Daniel [21]

At the lowest point of its motion, kinetic energy is maximum and potential energy is minimum. This is where the velocity is a maximum. At the highest point of its motion, kinetic energy is minimum (i.e. zero) and potential energy is maximum.

A baseball thrown by a pitcher is hit by a batter. At the moment when the ball hits the bat, the force exerted on the bat by the
Slav-nsk [51]

Newton's Laws of motion describe the motion of an object based on the applied force

The correct option that gives the relationships between the forces is the the option;

\underline{F_{ball}}<u> on bat</u> = \underline{F_{bat}}<u> on ball</u>

<em>(Either option A or B without the minus symbol before </em>F_{bat}<em>, likely typographical error)</em>

<em />

Reason:

Force exerted on the bat by the ball = F_{ball}

Force exerted on the ball by the bat = F_{bat}

Given that the batter hits the ball with the bat, the force exerted by the bat on the ball, F_{bat}, is reacted to by the force of the ball acting on the bat, F_{ball}

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. Therefore, at the moment when the ball hits the bat, we have;

\underline{F_{ball}}<u> on bat</u> = \underline{F_{bat}}<u> on ball</u>

<em>Where the force of the bat is high, the ball is accelerated to travel at high speed</em>
