Corrected Question:

Three resistors with values of 5.0 ohm, 10 ohm, and 15 ohms and are connected in series in a circuit with a 9.0-V battery. (a) What is the total equivalent resistance? (b) What is the current in each resistor? (c) At what rate is energy delivered to the 15 ohm resistor?

(a) 30 ohm

(b) 0.3A

Explanation:

(a) When resistors are connected in series, their total equivalent resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the total resistance, R, of the resistors in question is;

R = 5.0 + 10 + 15

R = 30 ohm

Therefore, the total equivalent resistance is 30 ohm

(b) Also, when resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them and the value of the current is equal to the ratio of the voltage across their combined (total) resistance to their total resistance. Therefore, to get the current, I, through each resistor, we find the ratio of the voltage, V, across their combined resistance to their total resistance, R as follows;

I = $\frac{V}{R}$ ------------------(i)

From the question;

V = 9.0V

R = 30 ohm (as calculated above)

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

I = $\frac{9.0}{30}$

I = 0.3A

Therefore the current in each resistor is 0.3A

(c) The rate at which energy is delivered to the 15 ohm resistor is the measure of the power, P, supplied to the resistor and is given by;

P = I²R --------------------(ii)

Where;

R = the value of the resistor = 15 ohm

I = current in the resistor = 0.3A

Substitute the values into equation (ii) as follows;

P = (0.3)² x 15

P = 0.09 x 15

P = 1.35W

Therefore, the rate at which energy is delivered to the 15 ohm resistor is 1.35W

Julia would be observing a. static electricity was caused by her sweater rubbing against her shirt and transferring electrons. she didn't touch anything metal, so that would cancel out b.she most likely didn't rub her sweater against her hair either, so that cancels out c.she also didn't scoot across the carpet while trying to take her sweater off, that cancels out d.so that leaves a.a. is correct.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)
