Answer:

(1) 2 ohms

(2) 12 Volts Across each resistor

(3) I₁ = 3 A, I₂ = 2 A, I₃ = 1 A

Explanation:

From the question,

(1) Equilvalent Resistance (Rt) for parallel connection is

1/Rt =(1/R₁)+ (1/R₂) + (1/R₃)

Where R₁ = 4 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms, R₃ = 12 ohms

1/Rt = 1/4 +1/6 +1/12

1/Rt = (3+2+1)/12

1/Rt = 6/12

1/Rt = 1/2

Rt = 2 ohms.

(2) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, They will have the same potential difference across them,

Hence the P.d across each resistor = 12 Volts.

(3) For R₁,

I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/4

I₁ = 3 A.

For R₂,

I₂ = V/R₂

I₂ = 12/6

I₂ = 2 A

For R₃,

I₃ = V/R₃

I₃ = 12/12

I₃ = 1 A

What part causes the disc brake caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released?
Orlov [11]
The part that causes the disc caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released is the square-cut O-ring.
The square cut seal is the most important part of a disc brake caliper, for keeping the brake behind the piston so that when you step on the brake pedal, it releases a pressure that applied to the piston which in return applies the pad to the rotor.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

When an igneous rock becomes buried, is subjected to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes it is formed into  Metamorphic rock. Now this rock is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified to be converted into Sedimentary rock.

The same igneous rock is first converted into Metamorphic and then into sedimentary by the process of weathering.
