A radio telescope is simply a telescope that is designed to receive radio waves from space. In its simplest form it has three components:
1. One or more antennas to collect the incoming radio waves. Most antennas are parabolic dishes that reflect the radio waves to a receiver, in the same way as a curved mirror can focus visible light to a point.
2. A receiver and amplifier to boost the very weak radio signal to a measurable level. These days the amplifiers are extremely sensitive and are normally cooled to very low temperatures to minimise interference due to the noise generated by the movement of the atoms in the metal (called thermal noise).
3. A recorder to keep a record of the signal. Most radio telescopes nowadays record directly to some form of computer memory disk as astronomers use sophisticated software to process and analyse the data.
Current(I) = Voltage/Resistance
= 42/(10+ 4)
= 42/14
Current = 3 A
The current in the circuit drops and reduces, because of the higher voltage.
Because of the higher potential difference, the current in the circuit reduces as well.
