Answer:

1. Rₑq = 4 Ω

2. R₂ = 6 Ω

3. Vₜ = 12 V, V₁ = 12 V, V₂ = 12 V

4. Iₜ = 3 A, I₁ = 1 A, I₂ = 2 A

Explanation:

1. Determination of the equivalent resistance

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 3 A

Resistance (Rₑq) =?

V= IRₑq

12 = 3 × Rₑq

Divide both side by 3

Rₑq = 12 / 3

Rₑq = 4 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance (Rₑq) = 4 Ω

2. Determination of R₂.

Equivalent resistance (Rₑq) = 4 Ω

Resistance 1 (R₁) = 12 Ω

Resistance 2 (R₂)

Since the resistor are in parallel arrangement, the value of R₂ can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = R₁ × R₂ / R₁ + R₂

4 = 12 × R₂ / 12 + R₂

Cross multiply

4(12 + R₂) = 12R₂

48 + 4R₂ = 12R₂

Collect like terms

48 = 12R₂ – 4R₂

48 = 8R₂

Divide both side by 8

R₂ = 48 / 8

R₂ = 6 Ω

3. Determination of the total voltage (Vₜ), V₁ and V₂.

From the question given above, the total voltage is 12 V

Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, the same voltage will go through them.

Thus,

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = 12 V

4. Determination of the total current (Iₜ), I₁ and I₂

From the question given above, the total current (Iₜ) is 3 A

Next, we shall determine I₁. Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, different current will pass through each resistor respective.

Vₜ = V₁ = 12 V

R₁ = 12 Ω

I₁ =?

V₁ = I₁R₁

12 = I₁ ×12

Divide both side by 12

I₁ = 12 / 12

I₁ = 1 A

Next, we shall determine I₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Iₜ = 3 A

I₁ = 1 A

I₂ =?

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂

3 = 1 + I₂

Collect like terms

I₂ = 3 – 1

I₂ = 2 A

How do scientists use models to make predictions?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

scientists use information about the past to build their climate models. scientists test their climate models by using them to forecast past climates. when scientists can accurately forecast past climates, they can be more confident about using their models to predict future climates.
