What is the power source of a quasar?
The power source of a quasar is a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. As material falls into the black hole, it forms an accretion disk that releases immense amounts of energy, generating the intense radiation emitted by quasars.
What is our black hole called?
The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may not have a formal name yet, but takes its identification from a powerful radio source "Sagittarius A*" (where the asterisk is part of the name). Because of the discovery of this energy source it's commonly believed a black hole must be located there, powering the emissions perhaps because of the black hole's accretion disk or relativistic jets.
Is there electricity in a black hole?
No. The only thing "in" a black hole is pure gravitational energy.
What form of enegry come from black holes?
Particles falling into a black hole release a large amount of x-rays as they do so. This is not energy from the black hole itself, but energy release that is a sign of a black hole.
Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?
The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.
What does black hole does with the energy which it absorbs?
It converts it into gravitational energy.
Why they call it a black hole?
A black hole sucks all the mass and energy which passes it, even light. So it's called black hole.
Why do they call it a black hole?
A black hole sucks all the mass and energy which passes it, even light. So it's called black hole.
Could a mini black hole be used as an energy source?
Yes, a mini black hole could potentially be used as an energy source, although it would be extremely difficult to position and manage. Professor Stephen Hawking pointed out once that a black hole the mass of a mountain would give off x-rays and gamma rays at a rate of about ten million megawatts, enough to power the Earth's electricity needs. Another system called the Penrose process could exploit energy of the angular momentum of the black hole to do work on infalling matter by accelerating it which could then be harnessed as a power source - eventually causing the black hole to lose mass and rotational inertia, and harvesting about a fifth of the black hole's mass as energy. Other theoretical propositions exist which could harness Hawking radiation near the event horizon; or exploiting the energy of waste matter by collecting it at the polar relativistic jets; or harnessing a charged black hole through current induction, or various other methods.
When is a black hole created?
When a star of sufficient mass stops producing energy, it will collapse into a black hole.
What becomes of energy when it is sucked up into a black hole?
Such energy has a mass equivalent (m = e/c2). Any such mass falling into the balck hole will increase the mass of the black hole.
Which celestial body would have more thermal energy: the moon or a black hole?
A black hole would have more thermal energy than the moon.
