Answer:

Correct Answer is option C

Explanation:

Option A cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are negatively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it because electron is negatively charged and it will get attracted towards positively charged terminal. Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option B

cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are positively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it.Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option C

It is correct option because flow of current means flow of electron. so electron which are negatively charged particle will move from cloud to positively charged ground.

Option D

If clouds are neutral then electron will not be there and hence current will not flow.

A battery has an emf of 15.0 V. The terminal voltage of the battery is 12.2 V when it is delivering 14.0 W of power to an extern

solong [7]

Answer:

The value of R and the internal resistance of the battery are 10.6 ohm and 2.45 ohm

Explanation:

Given that,

Emf of battery = 15.0 V

Voltage = 12.2 V

Power = 14.0 W

(a). We need to calculate the value of R

Using formula of power

$P=IV$

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}$

Where, R = resistance

P = power

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$R =\dfrac{(12.2)^2}{14.0}$

$R=10.6\ \Omega$

(b). We need to calculate the internal resistance of the battery

Firstly we calculate the current

Using formula of current

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}=\dfrac{P}{V}$

Put the value of P and V into the formula

$I =\dfrac{14}{12.2}$

$I=1.14\ A$

We calculate the internal resistance

Using formula of emf

$e-V=Ir$

$r =\dfrac{e-V}{I}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\dfrac{15.0-12.2}{1.14}$

$r = 2.45\ \Omega$

Hence, The value of R and the internal resistance of the battery are 10.6 ohm and 2.45 ohm

Sound Waves can be used to measure ocean depth. This done by sending a sound wave to the floor of the ocean and recording the ti

vazorg [7]

When the sound wave returns to the machine, you can measure
how long it took to return.

(You may notice that it's working just like RADAR, which does the
same thing with radio waves instead of sound waves.)

Even if you know how long the sound took to get to the bottom and
return to the top, you can't DO anything with this information if you
don't know the SPEED of the sound through the water. Not only
the inventory of this machine, but anyone who uses it, has to know
the speed of the sound through water in order to use the round-trip
time to calculate the depth.

What causes light to bend when it moves from one transport medium to another

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another is called refraction. The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted. The bending occurs because light travels more slowly in a denser medium.

hope this helped :))
