Q:

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105724.PNG image

Three resistors are arranged in a circuit as shown above. The battery has an unknown but constant emf ε and a negligible internal resistance.

Now, determine the equivalent resistance of the three resistors.

A) 12 Ω B) 10 Ω
C) 16 Ω D) 15 Ω
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 Ω

Explanation:

From the given circuit,

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105964.PNG image

The resistors R1 and R2 are in parallel connection and R3 is in series with R1 & R2

The equivalent resistance of R1 and R2 is

Req = (12 × 4)/(12 + 4) = 3 Ω.

Adding R3 in series with the pair gives

R = Req + 9

R = 3 + 9

R = 12 Ω.

C) Nerves D) Neurons
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Neurons

Explanation:

The basic unit of the nervous system is the Neurons.

 

The neuron is a single nerve cell, and you have billions of them.

There are three basic types of neurons::

1. Association,

2. Afferent  and

3. Efferent.

The association neurons comprise the central nervous system (CNS) that is the brain and spinal cord.

The afferent neurons are also known as the sensory neurons, they bring the stimuli from the sensors (e.g., skin, eyes, ears) to the CNS.

The efferent neurons are also known as motor neurons, they bring the responses from the brain to the muscles and the glands.
