Expert Solution

The blood vessels that lie on either side of your neck and carry blood from your heart to your brain are called the carotid arteries. If your arteries become clogged by the buildup of fatty plaques (atherosclerosis) along the walls of these vessels, you may be diagnosed with a condition called carotid artery occlusive disease. The symptoms of a clogged carotid artery mimic those of a transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke), but these symptoms do not develop in all patients. Speak with your doctor as soon as possible if you develop any of the symptoms of a clogged carotid artery.

Weakness

If you have a clogged carotid artery, oxygen and nutrients within your blood may be unable to reach your brain. Poor blood supply to the brain can prevent the transmission of nerve signals to other regions of your body, such as your organs or muscles. The temporary loss of nerve-signaling in the body due to a clogged carotid artery can cause you to experience sensations of weakness or numbness in your limbs or face. Typically, these symptoms arise on only one side of your body and can last for several minutes or hours. Muscle weakness or numbness that develops due to a clogged carotid artery can be dangerous, especially if these symptoms occur while you are driving or participating in a potentially hazardous activity.

A circuit maintains a constant resistance. If the current in the circuit is doubled, what is the effect on the power dissipated by the circuit?

A circuit maintains a constant resistance. If the current in the circuit is doubled, what is the effect on the power dissipated by the circuit? The power dissipated is quadrupled The power dissipated is doubled. The power dissipated remains constant. The power dissipated is reduced by a factor of 4. The power dissipated is reduced by a factor of 2.
