In 5V circuit has two 2 Ohm resistors in parallel, what is the current passing through each resistor?

To solve this question we need to remember the equation "Voltage = Current x Resistance". The next step is to draw out the circuit. A 5V circuit means the battery is supplying 5V to the current. Tw...

A kettle is found to output 65J when its input energy is 100J. What is the efficiency of the kettle, and what happens to the rest of the energy?

Efficiency=useful energy /input energy x 100, so for the kettle, efficiency = 65/100 x 100 = 65% efficient. The rest of the energy is wasted as heat energy in the kettle/sound energy.

What is red shift?

Red shift is the lengthening ('stretching') of the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted from a body moving away from the observer. This process occurs as the EM radiation loses energy while it pas...
