In series combination, resister are connected end to end and current has a single path through the circuit but the potential difference varies across each resistor. Thus we can write as,
V = V1 + V2 + V3
according to Ohm's law V = IR So,
V1 = I R1, V2 = I R2, V3 = I R3
V = I R1 + I R2 + I R3
V = I(R1+R2+R3)
V =IRe
All the individual resistances become equal to the equivalent resistance.
or Re = R1 + R2 + R3......Rn
In parallel combination, each resistor'sone is connected to the positive terminal while the other end is connected to a negative terminal. The potential difference across each resistance is the same and the current passing through them is different.
V = V1 =V2=V3
I = I1+ I2+I3
Current throught each resistor will be:
I1= V/R1 , I2 = V/R2 = I3 = V/R3
I = V (1/R1+ 1/R2+1/R3)
In case of equivalent resistance I=V/Re
V/Re = V (1/R1+ 1/R2+1/R3)
So the equivalnet resistance is the sum of all resistances
1/Re = 1/R1+ 1/R2+1/R3

patriot [66]
<span>3933 watts At 100 C (boiling point of water), it's density is 0.9584 g/cm^3. The volume of water lost is pi * 12.5^2 * 10 = 4908.738521 cm^3 The mass of water boiled off is 4908.738521 * 0.9584 = 4704.534999 grams. Rounding to 4 significant figures gives me 4705 grams of water. The heat of vaporization for water is 2257 J/g. So the total energy applied is 2257 J/g * 4705 g = 10619185 J Now we need to divide that by how many seconds we've spent boiling water. That would be 45 * 60 = 2700 seconds. Finally, the rate of heat transfer in Joules per second will be the total number of joules divided by the total number of seconds. So 10619185 J / 2700 s = 3933 J/s = 3933 (kg m^2/s^2)/s = 3933 (kg m^2/s^3) = 3933 watts</span>

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh.  It slows down as it rolls.  That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way.  That takes energy.  To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy.  When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.
