Answer #1

True

A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

If one bulb goes out, no current flows in the circuit as the blown out bulb act as an infinite resistance. ( Two wires separated by air in between them ) so other bulb stop emitting light as well. If one bulb goes out, the other bulb are unaffected as current still flows through the other bulbs.

The Inconvenient Light Company advertises that, on average, its CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs last more than 4600 hours. To test this claim using a 2% significance level, a statistician plans to take a random sample of 97 bulbs and measure the amount of time until each bulb fails. The lifetimes of the 97 bulbs in the sample had a mean of 4656 hours and a standard deviation of 490 hours. The value of the test statistic for this sample...

A manufacturer of light bulbs advertises that, on average, its long-life bulb will last more than 5100 hours. To test this claim, a statistician took a random sample of 98 bulbs and measured the amount of time until each bulb burned out. The mean lifetime of the sample of bulbs is 5156 hours and has a standard deviation of 390 hours. Can we conclude with 99% confidence that the claim is true? Fill in the requested information below. A. The...

1-how each dielectric material has its own unique specific dielectric constant. The textbook and other resources refer to the constant as "k" but wouldn't each material having its own constant ruin the purpose of a "constant" being the same value for every dielectric material? 2-What the dielectric does exactly? 3-why we only consider one of two similar junctions in a circuit. Why do we not consider the other junction if they are equivalent equations?
