It is a magnetic tape, which is often used for storing data or recording audio/video. The magnetic coating on the plastic ribbon allows data to be written and read using a tape drive. The cartridge provides protection for the tape and makes it easy to handle.


What is the purpose of chernobyl power plant?

It was to produce electricity. However, in the 1980's it has a major nuclear accident, whereupon all production stopped and the area for some 30 miles around was evacuated to prevent radio-activity and radiation burns/cancer Today it is derelict and embalmed in a concrete shell to prevent any further escape of radio active matertial . .


Element used in strobe lamps?

Strobe lamps commonly use xenon gas, which emits bright flashes of light when an electrical current passes through it. This gas is housed in a glass tube that is designed to create intense and short bursts of light, making it ideal for strobe lighting applications.


What is the valence of an atom with three electrons?

Depends. Valance is used to describe the other "electron shell" of the atom. The Valance shell is the outer most shell and determines how the atom will react chemically with other atoms. For example, H has one electron and one proton, for a neutral charge, and that electron is also the valance electron, as it is in the out shell. Shells: Shells are where the electrons are housed, and are divided into energy levels. To find the Max number of electrons on a shell, use the rule 2n^2 where n is the number of the shell (1st, 2nd etc) So the first shell holds two and the 2nd holds 8 etc. So if we go back to H we see that it has 1 electron when it;s out shell can house a maximum of 2. Therefore it's valance is 1 (worked out by how many electrons are needed to fill the outer shell or need to be dropped to fill the outer shell, which ever number is lower). This means that H is unstable and will react with many things. So valance can't tell you how many electrons there are, but that's what the atomic number is for.

What produce the spark to ignite the gunpower?

In a firearm cartridge, there are a few main pieces. The biggest piece you'll notice is referred to as the casing. On one end of the cartridge is the bullet and at the other is the rim of the casing. Inside that rim, there is a small piece called a "primer." Primers are made of a shock-sensitive explosive compound which is housed in a brass cradle. When the firing pin strikes the primer, it explodes, which ignites the smokeless powder.
