Answer:

It cannot reach us by conduction or convection as there is no medium such as air in most part of the space between the earth and the sun. From the sun the heat comes to us by another process known as radiation. The transfer of heat by radiation does not require any medium.

Answer:

Heat can't be transferred from sun to earth by conduction, because air is a bad conductor of heat. Convection is the transfer of heat in gases & liquids. Convection occurs when a heated fluid moves away from the source of heat and comes in contact with other substances, transferring some of their energy.

We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.

Using the relation:

$\frac{1}{ r_{eff} } = \frac{1}{ r_{1} } + \frac{1}{ r_{2} } + \frac{1}{ r_{3} }.. . + \frac{1}{ r_{n} } \\$
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.

Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.

In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
$\frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{1000} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{1} ) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{31}{20}) \\ \\ = \frac{31}{20000}$

To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
$\frac{20000}{31} \: ohm \\ = 645 .16 \: ohm$

The potential difference is of 9V.

So the current flowing using ohm's law,

V = IR

will be, 0.0139 Amperes.

AleksandrR [38]

<span>Answer: A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they contain the same number of protons and electrons but each contains a different number of neutrons - 7 and 8 respectively.

Isotopes are atoms of a chemical element whose nucleus has the same atomic number, Z, but different atomic mass, A. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the atom, therefore the isotopes of an element contain the same number of protons and electrons (atoms have to be neutral particles). The difference in atomic masses arises from the difference in the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
