What is electricity

1 answer:

7 0

Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. Hope this helped. ;)

Even at such low fractions of the speed of light these stars are moving quite quickly (thousands of kilometers a second) compare

yulyashka [42]

According to Doppler Effect, an observer at rest will perceive a shift in the wavelength or frequency of the radiation emitted by a source in movement.This shift is given by the formula:
$\frac{ \lambda - \lambda_{0} }{ \lambda_{0} } = \frac{-v}{c}$

where:
$\lambda$ = observed wavelength
$\lambda_{0}$ = wavelength at rest
v = speed of source (positive if towards the observer, negative if away from the observer)
c = speed of light

Therefore, we can solve for the observed wavelength:
$\lambda = \lambda_{0} (\frac{-v}{c}) + \lambda_{0} \\ \lambda = \lambda_{0} (1 - \frac{v}{c})$

Substituting the given data:
$\lambda = 656.46 (1 - \frac{300}{299792})$
= 655.80 nm

Hence, the observed wavelength of the line would be 655.80 nm. Note that this value is smaller than the one at rest, which means that we have a blue-shift, as expected for an approaching source.

when electrical energy is used what type of energy is also produced and considered to be waste energy?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<em>Thermal energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electrical Energy </u>

The electrical energy has been found to be an excellent resource to power our modern lifestyle. It can be produced in several ways including hydroelectrical plants, thermal plants, nuclear plants, solar panels, among many others. Each one of them converts different types of energy into electrical energy.

When converting to electrical energy, some equipment is needed, like generators, transformers, cables, circuit breakers, and every kind of devices with specific functions to have a good and safe electrical service. Each device has an internal resistance that opposes the flow of current. The resistances produce thermal energy as a result of current flowing through them. It's not possible to avoid this waste of energy, electrical engineers do their best to use better materials and configurations to reduce the thermal waste to a minimum.
