This is False.  

If you walk towards a Vander Graaff generator and touch it, your body will be electrically charged with the same sign as the generator (that’s why your hair stands up, because it is charged with static electricity, and…electrical charges of the same sign repel each other)

Note that the Vander Graaff generator is isolated from the ground, so, if the electrical charge is increased, electrical arcs will form and fly off it to any nearby grounded object or person.

Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in p
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = \frac{4}{2} =2ohm [ proven as in series R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{e} }  = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

so,

\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

R_{e} = 1ohm
