Answer: The correct option is 3 ohms.

Solution:

When resistors are connected in parallel the total resistance is given by :

\frac{1}{R_{total}}=\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...\frac{1}{R_n}

R_1=12 ohm

R_2=4 ohm

\frac{1}{R_{total}}=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{4}=3 ohm

The total resistance of the two devices is 3 ohm .

An iron bar at 200c is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120c in an isolated system
Step2247 [10]

Conduction: In the conduction, the heat is transferred from the hotter body to the colder body until the temperature on both bodies are equal.

In thermal equilibrium, there is no heat transfer as the heat is transferred till the temperature on the bodies are not same.

In the given problem, an iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, the thermal equilibrium is attained. Then, the temperature on both iron bars are equal.Both iron bars are at 160°C in an isolated system.

But in an open system, the temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C. There will be heat lost to the surrounding. The room temperature is 25°C. There will be exchange of the heat occur between the iron bars and the surrounding. But It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.

The electron affinity of an element is positive if energy is absorbed during the process of accepting an electron and negative i
julsineya [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.

Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;

Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g)      positive

Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g)      positive

For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer
