An electromagnet is created by A. putting a piece of soft iron in an outlet.
B. brushing a piece of steel with a soft cloth.
C. running electric current through a coiled, conductive wire.
D. rubbing two pieces of metal together quickly.

A. putting a piece of soft iron in an outlet

i'm assuming that it's c.) red bank..

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
