hree identical resistors are connected in series. When a certain potential difference is applied across the combination, the total power dissipated is 45.0 W. What power would be dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference

The power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

Explanation:

Given;

three identical resistors connected in series

let the first resistor = R₁

let the second resistor = R₂

let the third resistor = R₃

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Since the resistors are identical, thus, R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R

Rt = 3R

Power is given as;

P = IV = V² / R

If the 3 identical resistor connection were changed to parallel, then the equivalent resistance in the circuit will be;

Therefore, the power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
