Atoaster oven has a resistive heating element. the average rate at which it dissipates energy as thermal energy is 1.00 \(\rm kw\). in the united states, emf amplitude in household circuits is \(\mathcal e_{\max}\) = 170 \({\rm \; v}\) and the \(\rm ac\) oscillation rate is 60 \(\rm hz\). part a what is the root-mean-square current through the heating element?

Which of the following conditions lead you to see an absorption line spectrum from a cloud of gas in interstellar space? the cloud is extremely hot. the cloud is visible primarily because it reflects light from nearby stars. the cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star. the cloud is cool and very dense, so that you cannot see any objects that lie behind it.
