Answer:

Definition of direct current. : an electric current flowing in one direction only and substantially constant in value

Explanation:

Direct current (DC) is the one directional flow of electric charge. An electrochemical cell is a prime example of DC power. Direct current may flow through a conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. The electric current flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC). A term formerly used for this type of current was galvanic current.

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli

Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse $=30 cm$

i.e. $2 a=30$

Width of Ellipse $=22 cm$

i.e. $2 b=22$

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

$\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1$

$a=15 ,b =11$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1$

at $y=4 cm$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1$

$x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}$

$x=10.6 cm$

How many centimeters are there in meter? b. 10 c. d 1000 e. 10000 100 2. A centimeter is equal to 1 inch b.½inch C 1/2.54 inch

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) $\texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}$

Explanation:

a) We have the conversion

1 m = 100 cm

So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm

$1cm=\frac{1}{2.54}inch$

$\texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}$

Nresistors, each having resistance equal to 1 2, are arranged in a circuit first in series and then in parallel. What is the rat

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

Let the resistance of each resistor is R.

In series combination,

The effective resistance is Rs.

rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR

Let V be the source of potential difference.

Power in series

Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)

In parallel combination

the effective resistance is Rp

1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times

1 / Rp = N / R

Rp = R / N

Power is parallel

Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R ..... (2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get

Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2
