A superheated cloud of gas and dust swirling around a massive object (usually a black hole or neutron star) is called an accretion disk. The correct option is c.

<h3>What is accretion disk?</h3>

Accretion disk is a heavy object surrounded by flow of gas, plasma, dust, or particles.  The materials surrounding the heavy object orbiting in the gravitational field of the object that loses energy and angular momentum as it slowly spirals inward.

This cloud can reach incredible speeds and temperatures as gravity causes it to build up more and more friction, eventually releasing x rays.

Thus, accretion disk is a superheated cloud of gas and dust swirling around a massive object.

What is the current when a typical static charge of 0.234~\mu\text{c}0.234 μc moves from your finger to a metal doorknob in 0.59
Black_prince [1.1K]
The current is defined as the quantity of charge Q that passes through a certain location in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Using the data of the problem, we find:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{0.234 \mu C}{0.595 \mu s}=\frac{0.234\cdot 10^{-6} C}{0.595 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=0.39 A

If one light bulb burns out in a string of lights, and the rest stay lit, it is reasonable to assume that the lights are wired i
Blizzard [7]
The lights are wired in PARALLEL.

In fact, when the lights are connected in parallel, they are connected on separate branches to the source of voltage, so if one light bulb burns out, the other lights continue to work because the current continues to flow in the other branches of the circuit.

Vice-versa, if the light bulbs are connected in series, they are on the same branch This means that if one of them burns out, the circuit is open in that point, so the current cannot flow anymore and the other light bulbs turn off as well.
