resistance is measured by ohms and when electrons move through a conductor they collide with ions in the material which produces resistance hope this helps

Assume a solar cell would produce a current of 500mA and 3 V. What is the power of this solar cell?
defon

Answer:

the power of the solar cell is 1.5 watts

Explanation:

Recall that power is defined as the product of the voltage (V) times the running current (I): Power = V * I.

The only thing we have to take care of before actually performing the operation, is to convert milliamps into Amps, so our answer comes directly in the appropriate units (Watts). 500 mAmps can be written as 0.5 Amps, then, the product becomes:

Power = V * I = 3 V * 0.5 Amps = 1.5 watts

Infrared observations of the orbits of stars close to the galactic center indicate a small object at the center with a mass of a
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

(4.31±0.38) million Solar masses.

Explanation:

The galactic center is the center of the milky way around which the galaxy rotates. It is most likely the location of a supermassive black hole which has a mass of (4.31±0.38) million Solar masses. The location is called Sagittarius A*.

As there is interstellar dust in our line of sight from the Earth infrared observations need to be taken.

marin [14]

Answer:

Naruto is kinda strong

Explanation:

If were just talking about just him I think that he is strong for letting go of his past and moving along with his life. Bu t he also isn't strong if you think about it if Naruto didn't have the nine tails he wouldn't be special so he also is not strong there for his only power really comes from the nine tails.

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e. the length and radius have twice the
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The wire now has less (the half resistance) than before.

Explanation:

The resistance in a wire is calculated as:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{s}

Were:

R is resistance

\alpha is the resistance coefficient

l is the length of the material

s is the area of the transversal wire, in the case of wire will be circular area (s=\pi r^{2}).

So if the lenght and radius are doubled, the equation goes as follows:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi {(2r)}^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi 4 {r}^{2} }=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} }

So finally because the circular area is a square function, the resulting equation is half of the one before.
