An ammeter is connected in series with a resistor of unknown resistance R and a DC power supply of known emf e. A student uses the ammeter to measure the current I and calculates the power P dissipated by the resistor using I and e. The student later discovers that the ammeter is not an ideal ammeter. Which of the following correctly compares the actual power dissipated by the resistor to the value of power P calculated by the student and explains why? (A) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is greater than P because the ammeter had some resistance (B) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter had some resistance. (C) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is greater than P because the ammeter should have been connected in parallel to the resistor. (D) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter should have been connected in parallel to the resistor. (E) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is equal to P because the ammeter was connected properly in series.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
