If the electrodes placed in an electrolyte are short circuited will electrolysis still take place?

Electrolysis takes place when two electrodes are immersed
in an electrolyte as the constituents of the electrolyte are split into oppositely
charged ions when a current is passed through it. Each of the ions is then attracted to
the electrode which has an opposite charge.


As an example,
let the electrolyte be AB which is formed by A+ and B- ions. When current is passed
through AB it splits into A+ and B- ions. The A+ ions are attracted to the negative
electrode, where they accept an electron and are converted to A. Similarly the B- ions
are attracted to the positive electrode and give up their electron to the electrode,
which converts them to B.


If the two electrodes are short
circuited, there is no flow of electricity through the electrolyte. Also, the electrodes
will not be able to attract any oppositely charged particles. This results in no
electrolysis taking place.

Can you write a short summary of The Pilgrim's Progress?

The Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory
whose protagonist, Christian, appears to the author in a dream. The first part of the
book tells the story of Christian's journey from the City of Destruction, which he flees
thanks to Evangelist's warning, to the Celestial City. Christian travels with Faithful
and Hopeful. The second part tells the same journey made by Christian's wife,
Christiana, and their children following a vision. Christiana is accompanied by her maid
Mercy. The City of Destruction, the point of departure of both journeys, represents
wordliness and, to progress from this godless state to the Celestial City, Christian and
later his wife have to overcome the many obstacles in the Slough of Despond, the Valley
of the Shadow of Death, the Vanity Fair, the Doubting Castle and the Delectable
Mountains.

In Book 17 of The Odyssey, what is gained by having Telemachus assert himself when he returns from the challenge?

In Book 17, many suitors are becoming aware of the vacuum
of power that will exist with Telemachus gone. They plot to kill him. Penelope will have
to choose at that point. For Telemachus, several advantages are gained by his assertion
of himself. First, when the suitor who throws the stool at the old beggar (Odysseus)
does so, Telemachus wants to get all fired up right then and there. But by hold himself
together, he demonstrates poise, confidence, patience, and rage withheld. This is
important because that rage will need to be released after Penelope's
challenge.


At this point in the storyline, Telemachus needs
to demonstrate that he is a man to be able to assist Odysseus in the upcoming battle
against the suitors.

In Silas Marner, what contributions do Godfrey and Nancy make to Eppie’s wedding?

Godfrey and Nancy felt guilty because they still believed
that they should have kept Eppie as a baby and raise her themselves. Godfrey also knew
that money was not going to be able to make up for lost time and care. However, he
ensured that Eppie had a wonderful wedding.


First, he sent
a dress to be made for her. Nancy and Godfrey also donated their beautiful home,
flowers, and decorations for the wedding to be a complete success. In addition to that,
they offered the wedding banquet and invited many people from the village so that
everyone could be in awe at how beautiful she looked. They also did that because deep
inside they knew how much Eppie cared for Aaron genuinely, and because they knew Silas's
sacrifices into raising her into becoming such a good person.

Discuss Look Back in Anger as a psychological play.

Psychological narrative and plays along with telling a
story examine the individual's sense of personal and cultural identity as well as the
formation and nature of memories. Some psychologists hold that these two psychological
components (identity and memory) are the integral nature of self. In Look Back
in Anger
, Jimmy's paramount concern is his own sense of personal and cultural
identity. Moreover, his concern extends to English working class and lower class people
in general, although it could be argued that his concern is really an out-lashing
against his father's death, which was in a very real sense a culture-caused death since
he went as a freedom fighter to fight in the Spanish Civil War as so many English
idealists did. Further, the causes for Jimmy's thoughts, attitudes, and behavior is
directly attributed to memory, specifically, his memory of his father's agonized and
agonizing death from which Jimmy says he learned to be angry and helpless, something, he
says, that he can't forget.

How does guilt change Victor Frankenstein?

Certainly one of the biggest changes in Victor's
personality is a return to humbleness by understanding the complexity of life but, most
importantly, the complexity of humanity. Victor took life for granted. He assumed that
life was yet another scientific method that anyone could re-create the way one does any
other scientific investigation. Yet, he never fathomed the consequences of trying to
meddle with what is already universally accepted and sacred by all
standards.


Once, Victor was a creature of hungry ambition.
He was pompous and arrogant in thinking that he was untouchable and invictus. He went
with his whims and ate up every literature available on the topics of chemistry,
alchemy, biology, and life itself to satisfy his arrogance. Yet,  in the end of the
story we see that his creation was his death sentence. He lost the love of his life, his
best friend, his credibility, his happiness, his passion, and most importantly, his
sanity. In the end his final words were: I am the
wretch.


Just imagine his feelings at that point in his
life. He, once a self made godlike figure, bringing himself to that low spot. It must
have been a horrid moment for him, and a huge reality check.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
