In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

The electric-power industry is interested in finding a way to store electric energy during times of low demand for use during pe
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: True

Explanation: Inductors are similar to resistors, due to the fact that they offer resistance to current flow, but Inductors are different from resistors in that, while resistors loss electric energy in a circuit in the form of heat, an inductor stores that energy in the form of a magnetic field.

As current passes through an inductor overtime it tends to store current in the form of magnetic field. Therefore the electric-power industry can store energy in large Inductors.
