Multiple Choice
How is the energy that powers radio galaxies,quasars,and other active galactic nuclei produced?
A) by nuclear fusion near a central black hole
B) by magnetic fields that trap and accelerate charged particles,which then radiate high amounts of energy
C) by matter that has been converted to pure energy being shot out as jets by a central black hole
