• A)9.117 × 10⁵ Pa
• B)6.447 × 10⁵ Pa
• C)4.559 × 10⁵ Pa
• D)3.102 × 10⁵ Pa
• E)1.823 × 10⁶ Pa

Definitions:

Voltage Polarity

The polarity of the voltage at a particular point in a circuit. Generally of concern in direct current circuits.

Current Flow

The flow of electric charge carriers like electrons through a conductor or space.

Power Dissipation

The conversion of electrical energy into heat in various components of a circuit, often leading to energy loss.

Resistors

Components used in electrical circuits to limit or regulate the flow of electrical current, often for the purpose of generating heat or dropping voltage.
