A parallel circuit has two 8.0-ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts. If a 12.5-ohm resistor is added to the circuit in

parallel, how will the current be affected and what value will it have?

Answer:

1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... = 1/Re

So...

1/17.2 + 1/22.4 = 1/Re

0.1021 = 1/Re

Re = 9.792 Ohms

Now use the Voltage equation V = IR

6 = I * 9.792

I = 6/9.792 = 0.613 Amps.Pato 0.61

The initial equivalent resistance of the circuit is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}= \frac{1}{8 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{8 \Omega} =  \frac{1}{4 \Omega}
which means 
R_{eq}= 4 \Omega
Therefore the initial current in the circuit is
I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{9 V}{4 \Omega}=2.25 A

When the new resistor of 12.5 \Omega is added to the circuit in parallel, the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{8 \Omega} + \frac{1}{8 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{12.5 \Omega}=  0.33 \Omega^{-1}
from which we find
R_{eq}=3 \Omega
This means that the equivalent resistance of the circuit has decreased, and the new current is
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{9 V}{3 \Omega}=3 A
which means that the current in the circuit has increased.

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.

??? True or false. An element can only exist as an individual atom.
KengaRu [80]
I think it's false because Oxygen is diatomic so it's found as O2 which means that it has two atoms of itself.

Give an example of how the apparent motion of an object depends on the observers motion
QveST [7]
In a moving car the outside looks to be moving. however if viewed from the outside, the car appears to be moving. so motion is relative to the person observing.
