Answer from: Yoma321

If a source of 45 volts is connected between the ends of something ...
OK, let's call it a 'wire' ... and a current of 1.5 Amperes flows through it,
then we can use one of the forms of Ohm's law to calculate the resistance
between the terminals of the source.

   Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

   Resistance = (45 volts) / (1.5 A) = 30 ohms

I'm very uncomfortable calling this "a wire". In order to have a light-duty
household extension cord with a resistance of 30 ohms, the cord would
need to be almost 9,500 feet (1.789 mile) long !

What you have there is a 30-ohm resistor of some kind. If it's a wire,
it almost certainly must be a kind of wire that's manufactured to have
high resistance.

Look at this: The power dissipated by your wire is

   (voltage) times (current) = (45 x 1.5) = 67.5 watts !

That's a lot of electrical power, and it comes out of the wire in the form
of heat. A wire intentionally designed to dissipate that much power is
used for very specific purposes. For example: Take this wire and wind
it around and around a pencil, so that it takes the shape of a spring, then
stretch it out to maybe 6 inches long. Then do the same thing with another
6 or 8 or 10 similar wires.

Hang them all up side by side, with half of the wires on one side and half
on the other side, maybe an inch or two apart, and then connect them all
up to the voltage.

The space in between the wires gets hot. Well done ! You have invented
the bread toaster !

Answer from: Quest

Ohm's law tells you that i = v/r where v is equivalent voltage and r is equivalent resistance of the circuit
since all circuits have the same voltage, your question is really asking which circuit has the lowest total resistance, since the lower the resistance, the higher the current
circuit a has a resistance of 5 ohms; circuit c is in series so has a resistance of 10 ohms; circuit b is in parallel and therefore has a resistance of 2.5 ohms (review your notes on adding resistances in parallel and series); therefore b has the highest current

Wo audio speakers are placed on a vertical rail. speaker a is placed at head-level while speaker b is place at some variable height, \delta yδy, above speaker a. both speakers receive simultaneous input from a sine-wave generator so the speakers each produce a pure sinusoidal sound wave with a wavelength of 0.531 meters. calculate the lowest height that speaker b can be placed above speaker a to produce a minimum of sound heard by person standing \delta x = 7.86δx=7.86 meters directly in front of speaker a.
