When a 20-V emf is placed across two resistors in series, a current of 2.0 A is present in each of the resistors. When the same emf is placed across the same two resistors in parallel, the current through the emf is 10 A. What is the magnitude of the greater of the two resistances

7.24 ohm

Explanation:

Let R1 and R2 are resistance of two resistors.

Emf=E=20 V

Current,I=2 A

Current,I'=10 A

We have to find the magnitude of the greater of the two resistances.

In series

By using the formula

...(1)

In parallel

Substitute the value

By using quadratic formula

Substitute the value

Hence, the magnitude of the greater of the two resistance=7.24 ohm

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is
