The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons. This model was known as the 'plum pudding' model.
This theory was then disproved by Ernest Rutherford and the gold foil experiment in 1911, where Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold foil, and noticed that some went through and some bounced back, implying the existence of a positive nucleus.
In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom where the electrons were contained within quantized shells that orbited the nucleus. This was because it was impossible for the cloud of negative electrons proposed by Rutherford to exist, as the negative electrons would be drawn to the positive nucleus, and the atom would collapse in on itself.
In 1926, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created a quantum mechanical model of the atom by combining the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.
However the model used today is closest to the Bohr model of the atom, using the quantized shells to contain the electrons.

This really calls for a blackboard and a hunk of chalk, but
I'm going to try and do without.
If you want to understand what's going on, then PLEASE
keep drawing visible as you go through this answer, either
on the paper or else on a separate screen.
The energy dissipated by the circuit is the energy delivered by
the battery. We'd know what that is if we knew I₁ . Everything that
flows in this circuit has to go through R₁ , so let's find I₁ first.
-- R₃ and R₄ in series make 6Ω.
-- That 6Ω in parallel with R₂ makes 3Ω.
-- That 3Ω in series with R₁ makes 10Ω across the battery.
-- I₁ is 10volts/10Ω = 1 Ampere.
-- R1: 1 ampere through 7Ω ... V₁ = I₁ · R₁ = 7 volts .
-- The battery is 10 volts.
7 of the 10 appear across R₁ .
So the other 3 volts appear across all the business at the bottom.
-- R₂: 3 volts across it = V₂.
Current through it is I₂ = V₂/R₂ = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Amp.
-- R3 + R4: 6Ω in the series combination
3 volts across it
Current through it is I = V₂/R = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Ampere
-- Remember that the current is the same at every point in
a series circuit. I₃ and I₄ must be the same 1/2 Ampere,
because there's no place in the branch where electrons can
be temporarily stored, no place for them to leak out, and no
supply of additional electrons.
-- R₃: 1/2 Ampere through it = I₃ .
1/2 Ampere through 2Ω ... V₃ = I₃ · R₃ = 1 volt
-- R₄: 1/2 Ampere through it = I₄
1/2 Ampere through 4Ω ... V₄ = I₄ · R₄ = 2 volts
Notice that I₂ is 1/2 Amp, and (I₃ , I₄) is also 1/2 Amp.
So the sum of currents through the two horizontal branches is 1 Amp,
which exactly matches I₁ coming down the side, just as it should.
That means that at the left side, at the point where R₁, R₂, and R₃ all
meet, the amount of current flowing into that point is the same as the
amount flowing out ... electrons are not piling up there.
Concerning energy, we could go through and calculate the energy
dissipated by each resistor and then addum up. But why bother ?
The energy dissipated by the resistors has to come from the battery,
so we only need to calculate how much the battery is supplying, and
we'll have it.
The power supplied by the battery = (voltage) · (current)
= (10 volts) · (1 Amp) = 10 watts .
"Watt" means "joule per second".
The resistors are dissipating 10 joules per second,
and the joules are coming from the battery.
(30 minutes) · (60 sec/minute) = 1,800 seconds
(10 joules/second) · (1,800 seconds) = 18,000 joules in 30 min
The power (joules per second) dissipated by each individual resistor is
P = V² / R
or
P = I² · R ,
whichever one you prefer. They're both true.
If you go through the 4 resistors, calculate each one, and addum up, you'll
come out with the same 10 watts / 18,000 joules total.
They're not asking for that. But if you did it and you actually got the same
numbers as the battery is supplying, that would be a really nice confirmation
that all of your voltages and currents are correct.
Answer:
A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster.
Explanation:
A star cluster can be defined as a constellation of stars, due to gravitational force, which has the same origin.
The astronomy student would have to plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster and determine the age of the cluster by observing the turn-off point. The turn-off is majorly as a result of gradual depletion of the source of energy of the star. Thus, it projects off the constellation.
