Answer to Problem 1QP

Option (d)

Explanation of Solution

According to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, space itself can be considered to be, cured by mass. As a result, the density of the universe can find how much mass it has spread over to its volume, to determine its shape, as well as its future.

The critical density is proportional to the square of the Hubble constant, which is used in measuring the expansion rate of the universe.

Comparing the critical density to the actual density can help scientists to understand the cosmos.

Conclusion:

The density of the universe dictates whether it will be open, closed, or flat. Therefore, option (d) is correct.

The density of the universe dictates whether it will be open, closed, or flat. Therefore, option (a) is incorrect.

The density of the universe dictates whether it will be open, closed, or flat. Therefore, option (b) is incorrect.

The density of the universe dictates whether it will be open, closed, or flat. Therefore, option (c) is incorrect.

A flat circular coil with 135 turns, a radius of 2.28 x 10-2 m, and a resistance of 0.618 is exposed to an external magnetic field that is directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the external magnetic field is changing at a rate of AB/At = 0.615 T/s, thereby inducing a current in the coil. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the coil that is produced by the induced current. Number
