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?

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>

What would be the impact on the nitrogen cycle if there were a decrease in decomposition in a given ecosystem?
Masteriza [31]
Because decomposition helps create nitrogen, a lack of decomposition would result in a lack of nitrogen being created.

blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>

Fofino [41]
The Arctic Fox lives in the Arctic Tundra (more or less around Alaska, Iceland I think, and other places like that). During the winter, their fur is very thick and solid white (not always SOLID but generally speaking). During the summer and spring, their fur turns brown.

1. Of course, during the winter in those regions, it's going to be snowing and ice is going to be all over the ground. By having a white coat, they're able to blend in and hide from predators, such as the Arctic Wolf and Polar Bears. By turning brown, they'll be able to blend in with the dirt after the snow and ice melts, and again, hide from predators. For the other fox, their brown coat blends in with the dirt, trees, dead leaves, etc. and they'll be able to hide from prey and predators alike. 

2. The Arctic Fox also has very thick fur during the winter, which allows it to survive the extreme temperatures. They also dig burrows in the snow for shelter in blizzards. This gives them the ability to survive natural disasters (at least one of them).

I can't think of a third one but these should give you a pretty good idea of how their adaptations help them survive. I really love the Arctic fox so I know quite a bit about them. I really hope this helps you.
