Compared with the amount of current in the filament of a lamp, the amount of current in the connecting wire is
D. the same.
As per the rule, the amount of current in devices connected in series is equal. here in the given situation , the wire is in series with the filament. that is the reason that the current in filament and wire is same.
hence the correct choice is D)
That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".
'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.
If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is
(200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .
Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.
Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.
Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.
1 sun = 1 kW/m².
So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun
That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.
I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.
