The electrical conductivity of copper and nickel material at room temperature are 6.0×107 (??m)-1 and 2.0×107 (??m)-1 , respectively. Copper and nickel form a solid solution at low concentrations at room temperature. If an alloy of nickel plus 5 atom % copper produced from these materials has an electrical resistivity of 11×10-8 ??m, what would be the electrical resistivity of an alloy of nickel plus 10-atomicpercent copper? You may assume that these are dilute solutions.
What will be an ideal response?
Since both 5 and 10 atom % nickel can be substituted into a copper crystal, the nickel
atoms in the copper add additional scattering centers for the electrons. The equation for the resistivity of a dilute solid solution is

The Schwarzschild radius of a black hole is that radial distance from the center of a sphere within which not even light can escape
It was first discovered mathematically by Schwarzschild in 1916 after Einstein published his general relativity theory. It can be calculated from a star's mass M as: R = 2GM/c2. Take the radius of both stars A and B as the Schwarzschild radius. If the mass of star A is twice as much as the mass of star B, the average density of star A, compared to star B will be A) the same. B) twice as much. C) half as much. D) four times as much. E) one-fourth as much.
