Waves are vibration that is transmitted through a medium

The correct option which is not a form of electromagnetic radiation is option C)

C) DC current from your car battery

The reason why option C is correct is presented as follows:

Electromagnetic radiation are a type of waves that is made up of flow of energy in the form in packets propagating as both electric and magnetic waves that can travel though vacuum (empty space) or through a medium, including radiation and waves such as gamma radiation, visible light and radio waves;

The given options A) light from your camp fire B) Ultraviolet causing suntan, D) Radio signals, and E) X-rays in the doctor's office are electromagnetic waves given that they can propagate through empty space as observed in astronomy

The option C) DC current from your car battery, is not an electromagnetic wave because, it requires a medium, the electric cable to be transmitted, and the current moves in only one direction, making it not an electromagnetic wave

Therefore, the option which is not an electromagnetic wave is option C) DC current from your car battery

C) DC current from your car battery

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other.

Depending on their wavelength, electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, known as electromagnetic spectrum. These types, from shortest to longest wavelength, are

Gamma rays

X- rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

So, we see that all the following choices

A) light from your camp fire (visible light)

B) ultraviolet causing a suntan

D) radio signals (radio waves)

E) X-rays in the doctor's office

Are forms of electromagnetic radiation, while

C) DC current from your car battery

is not a form of electromagnetic radiation, since DC current consists of a flow of electrons.

Which of these is not a form of electromagnetic radiation? a) light from your camp fire b) ultravio

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater. what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
