The bacteria has removed a large portion of the other constituents of the plant matter and left around 25 to 34 percent.

Electrical Pressure is also called as Voltage. Voltage is measured in Volts.

Volt : A unit of electrical pressure or Voltage is called Volt.

One volt is the amount of pressure required to cause one ampere of current to flow against one ohm of resistance.

Voltage is also referred to as Electromotive Force or Electrical Potential or Electrical Pressure.

Let the required number be 'p'

36 of what number is 18 implies 36% of p = 18

=> 36 x p/100 = 18

=> p = 1800/36

=> p = 50.

Hence, 36% of 50 is 18.

As parabola is a locus of a point, which moves so that its distance from focus and directrix is always equal.

The latus rectum of a conic section is the chord (line segment) that passes through the focus, is perpendicular to the major axis and has both endpoints on the curve. The length of the latus rectum is determined differently for each conic.

The length of a parabola's latus rectum is 4p, where p is the distance from the focus to the vertex.

A Slip ring is a ring in a dynamo or electric motor which is attached to and rotates with the shaft, passing an electric current to a circuit via a fixed brush pressing against it.

Slip rings are usually made of Phosphor Bronze.

Slip ring motors usually have a 'phase-wound' rotor. This type of rotor has a 3-phase, double-layer, distributed winding consisting of coils used in alternators. The rotor core is made up of steel laminations which have slots to accommodate formed 3-single phase windings.

Here to convert 0.125 into %

First convert to fractio

Multiply and divide by 1000

=> 0.125 x 10001000 = 1251000 = 18

=> Now, $$\begin{gathered} in percentage \\ 18 x 100 = 12.5% \end{gathered}$$
