Answer:

10.9 ohms .

-- With two resistors in parallel, the total effective resistance is
the reciprocal of  (1/R₁ + 1/R₂).

1/R₁ + 1/R₂  = 1/15 + 1/40

= 8/120 + 3/120

= 11/120

So the total effective resistance is 120/11 = 10.9 ohms .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

= 12 / (120/11)

= (12 · 11) / 120

= 132/120  =  1.1 Amperes

An capacitor consists of two large parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. This capacitor is connected t
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Will be doubled.

Explanation:

For a capacitor of parallel plates of area A, separated by a distance d, such that the charges in the plates are Q and -Q, the capacitance is written as:

C = \frac{Q}{V}  = e_0\frac{A}{d}

where e₀ is a constant, the electric permittivity.

Now we can isolate V, the potential difference between the plates as:

V = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}

Now, notice that the separation between the plates is in the numerator.

Thus, if we double the distance we will get a new potential difference V', such that:

V' = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{2d}{A} = 2*( \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}) = 2*V\\V' = 2*V

So, if we double the distance between the plates, the potential difference will also be doubled.

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and B?
insens350 [35]
All the 3 resistors below point A and B are in series. These 3 resistors can be replaced by an equivalent resistor of resistance R = 1+1+1 = 3 kΩ 

Now, this R and 1 kΩ resistor are in parallel because they have common end points. And they can be replaced by an equivalent resistor of resistance 
R' = 3x1/3+1 = 3/4

Steel is made of atoms of iron and carbon. Would iron and carbon form metallic bonds? Explain your answer choice.
Hatshy [7]

Sample Response: "No, steel and carbon would not form metallic bonds because metallic bonds only form between metals. Iron is a metal, but carbon is not."
