In a circuit with a 12V battery, 20Ω resistor and 10Ω resistor, all in series, calculate the current that would flow?

This question can be split into two parts, the first is calculating overall resistance: in series the Rtotal = R1 + R2 so here Rtotal = 10Ω + 20Ω = 30Ω The seco...

An individual is seated in a darkened room. What would you expect their pupils to look like? A light is shone onto their eyes and a change in their pupils is noted, what change would you expect and why?

In dark/dim conditions the human pupil dilates (diameter increases) to allow more light in.In bright conditions the pupil constricts (diameter decreases) and less light enters the eye.This is through a co...
