A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance

of the first device is 12 ohms, the resistance of the second device is 4 ohms, and the voltage developed by the generator is 40 V. What is the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device?

 A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance of the first device is 12 ohms, the resistance of the second device is 4 ohms, and the voltage developed by the generator is 40 V. What is the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device?  

   

  A. 13.32 A

  B. 3.33 A

  C. 8 A

  D. 10 A


Answer is 3.33 A

Parallel circuits are circuits when placed in a parallel position. Meaning that for each device, they have their own branch. The voltage that is received in the circuit is equal to the individual devices. The total current is equal to the current of each device. The resistance is the reciprocal of the resistances of each device combined.  

Given:
Device 1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 = 4 ohms
Voltage total = 40V  

Required:
Current at 12 ohms  

Solution:
40V = V1 =V2  

Since V =IR
I1 = V1/R1
I1 = (40V)/(12 ohms)
<span><u>I1 = 3.334 A(Amperes)</u></span>

Ivenika [448]
Anatomical and molecular features often fit a similar pattern due to Homology. Homology is the existence of shared ancestry between two structures or genes in a different species. 

A process that can cause this not to be the case is Convergent Evolution.
Convergent Evolution occurs when two unrelated species independently evolve similar traits to cope with evolutionary changes.

The fact that plants can be cloned from somatic cells demonstrates that _____.A) differentiated cells retain all the genes of th
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) differentiated cells retain all the genes of the zygote

Explanation:

A plant can be cloned from the somatic cells which shows that the differentiated cell of plants have the ability to divide and differentiate to produce a new plant. This property of the cell is called totipotency.

All the cells in plants are not totipotent but some cells under proper condition can show the property of totipotency. Totipotency property shows that the differentiated cell is having all the genes that were present in the zygote.

This property of plant cells is used by scientist in plant tissue culture to produce plants for research and other purposes. So the right answer is A.

12In an experiment, a petri dish with a colony of bacteria is exposed to cold temperatures and then warmed again.
klemol [59]
<span>Let the equation be : at^2 + bt + c = P,
where t = time (hrs),
P = population (1000's).
 When t = 1, P = 3.03.
When t = 2, P = 1.72.
When t = 3, P = 1.17.
 Substitute these into the equation to obtain these 3 simultaneous equations : a + b + c = 3.03
4a + 2b + c = 1.72
9a + 3b = c = 1.17
 
Solving gives :
a = 0.38,
b = -2.45,
c = 5.1.
 
The equation is therefore,
P = 0.38t^2 - 2.45t + 5.1
 Testing with t = 0 to 6 gives the population values as provided, so it seems to be a valid model.
 At t = 9 hrs,
P = 0.38*9^2 - 2.45*9 + 5.1
   = 13.83.</span>

The answer is one (1) billion tons of phytoplankton at any one time. Annually, its recorded that there is approximately 45 billion tons of phytoplankton in the ocean. Other than being a source of food for fish, they are critical in the carb9n cycle. This phytoplankton incorporates 45–50 billion tons of inorganic carbon into their cells and are the largest source of atmospheric oxygen.
