Aresistor with an unknown resistance in connected in parallel to a 12-ohm resistor. when both resistors are connected to a battery of 12 v, the current in the unknown resistor is measured to be 3.0 a. what is the resistance of the unknown resistor?
show work! : )

6.0 Ω

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = (3.0 A) Rₑ

Rₑ = 4.0 Ω

For resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

1/Rₑ = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂

1/4.0 = 1/12 + 1/R

R = 6.0 Ω

The resistance of the unknown resistor is 6.0 Ω.

i think the answer is b

the answer is neither ball has a charge.

because if they were both positively charged, they will repel each other.

if they were positively and negatively charged, they will seek.
