Answer:

1 Ampere.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall determine the equivalent resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

R = (20 × 20) / (20 + 20)

R = 400 / 40

R = 10 ohm

Finally, we shall determine the total current in the circuit. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Equivalent Resistance (R) = 10 ohm

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 10

Divide both side by 10

I = 10 / 10

I = 1 Ampere

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 1 Ampere.

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.

Two 1.0 cm * 2.0 cm rectangular electrodes are 1.0 mm apart. What charge must be placed on each electrode to create a uniform el
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> calculate the charge on each electrode

Given;

Electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

The distance between the electrode = 1mm = 1 X 10⁻³ m

Electric field strength (E) = Force (F)/Charge (q)

E =\frac{Kq}{r^2}

where;

E is the electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r is the distance between the electrodes = 1 X 10⁻³ m

q is the charge in each electrode = ?

q = \frac{Er^2}{K} = \frac{(2X10^6)(1X10^{-3})^2}{8.99 X10 ^9} = 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

The charge on each electrode is 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the number of electrons to be moved from one electrode to the other.

1 electron contains 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

So, 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C will contain how many electrons ?

= (0.2225 X 10⁻⁹)/(1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹)

= 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons

Therefore, the number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Option C) 2,090 J/(mol K)

Explanation:

Data:

Volume in the beaker = 429 ml

temperature  = 20° C

Density = 789 kg/m³

Equilibrium reading = 429

volume change = 29 ml

                          = 0.029 L

Energy change = mcΔT
