Two 20 ohm resistors are connected in parallel and two 10 ohm resistors are connected in parallel. If these two combinations are
connected in series the equivalent resistance of the combination is: a) 20 ohm b) 10 ohm c) 15 Ohm d) 30 Ohm
1 answer:
C. 15Ω.
The circuit diagram is shown in the first image attached. To solve this problem we have to use the equivalent resistor conected in parallel Req = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2).
Calculating the equivalent resistor in the 20Ω resistor parallel arrangement:
RAeq = [(20*20)/(20+20)] Ω
RAeq = 400/40 Ω
RAeq = 10Ω
Calculating the equivalent resistor in the 10Ω resistor parallel arrangement:
RBeq = [(10*10)/(10+10)]Ω
RBeq = 100/20 Ω
RBeq = 5Ω
Both equivalent resistors are in series. So, in order to calculate the equivalent resistance of the combination:
Rtotal = RAeq + RBeq
Rtotal = 10Ω + 5Ω
Rtotal = 15Ω

Answer:
When the magnetic field is tilted so it is no longer perpendicular to the page.
When the magnetic field gets stronger.
When the size of the loop decreases.
Explanation:
According to the Faraday-Lenz law, the change of the magnetic flux over time causes an induced current, this flux is given by:
Therefore, there will be a variable magnetic flux, when the magnitude of the magnetic field (B) changes over time, when the area of the loop (S) changes over time and / or when the angle () between the field and the surface vector changes over time.
The change in potential energy of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
is the increase in altitude of the object
In our problem,
is the mass of the book, 
and
is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
In our problem,
