Unreasonable Results

(a) What resistance would you put in parallel with a 40 . 0-Ω size 12{"40" "." 0- %OMEGA } {} galvanometer having a 25. 0-μA sensitivity to allow it to be used as an ammeter that has a full-scale deflection for 10 . 0-μA size 12{"10" "." 0 μA} {} ? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?

(a) 66 . 7 Ω size 12{-"66" "." 7 %OMEGA } {}

(b) You can’t have negative resistance.

(c) It is unreasonable that I G size 12{I rSub { size 8{G} } } {} is greater than I tot size 12{I rSub { size 8{"tot"} } } {} (see [link] ). You cannot achieve a full-scale deflection using a current less than the sensitivity of the galvanometer.

Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
