The first direct experimental evidence for the electrical nature of matter came from the experiments of  Michale Faraday . He showed from his experiments that electricity is composed of particles called ‘atoms of electricity’. It was  George Johnstone Stoney , an Irish Physicist who first proposed the word ‘ electron ‘ for atom of electricity’ in 1891.His contribution to research in this area laid the foundations for the eventual discovery of particles by  J.J. Thomson in 1897. In 1878, Sir William Crooke,  while conducting an experiment using a  discharge  tube, found certain visible rays travelling between two metal electrodes. These rays are known as Crooke’s Rays or  cathode rays . The  discharge  tube used in the experiment is now referred to as Crookes tube or more popularly as Cathode Ray  Tube (CRT). Cathode Ray Tube :  It is a long glass tube filled with gas and sealed at both the ends. It consist of two metal plates (which act as electrodes) connected with hi

Q1 What is meant by electric current? Ans-Electric Current : Flow of electrons. Q2 What is an electrc circuit? Ans -Electric Circuit : The closed path in which electric current flows. Q3 Under what conditions a circuit is said to be complete? Ans-Current can flow through a circuit only if it is complete i.e. all its parts are made up of a conductor. Q4 What is a switch? Ans -Switch is used to close and open a circuit. When switch is ‘ON’ circuit is complete and current flows through it and when it is ‘OFF’ circuit breaks (air is an insulator) and flow of current stops. Q5 Draw the symbols for various Components of an electric circuit ? Cell : Source of electric current.   Battery : Combination of 2 or more cells  Connecting Wires – generally insulated Copper wires.  Electric Bulb – Key or switch-Open key-Closed key Note : When cells are connected to form a battery positive terminal of one is always connected to negative terminal of the other. Q6 What is a circuit diagram? A

What is the angle of incidence, when a ray of light falls on the spherical mirror from its centre of curvature? Ans: The angle of incidence is zero, w

REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS CLASS7th CORE ASSIGNMENT Q1. Describe the different methods of asexual reproduction . Give examples. A.There are different methods by which plants reproduce asexually. They are vegetative propagation, budding,fragmentation and spore formation. The vegetative parts of a plant are the roots, stems and leaves. When new plants are produced from these parts, the process is called vegetative propagation. 1. Budding- A bulb like projection grows on the parent organism. It grows and may eventually break away from the parent. E.g. yeast, hydra, corals, sponges. 2. Fragmentation- The organism breaks up into two or more fragments after maturation. These fragments grow into new individuals. E.g. spirogyra, hydra 3. Spore formation- A spore is a tiny, spherical and unicellular body protected by a thick wall. Under favourable conditions, a spore germinates and develops into a new individual. E.g. mosses, ferns, moulds Q2. Describe the various ways by which seeds are disp

OBJECTIVES OF THIS LESSON Periodic Classification of Elements After completing this lesson, you will be able to: ! state different historical classifications of elements in brief; ! state main features of Mendeleev’s periodic table; ! explain the defects of Mendeleev’s periodic table; ! state modern periodic law; ! describe the features of the long form of periodic table; ! define various periodic properties; ! discuss the trends in various periodic properties in the periodic table. The first classification of elements was as metals and non-metals. This served only limited purpose mainly because of two reasons: 1. All the elements were grouped in to these two classes only. The group containing metals was very big. 2. Some elements showed properties of both-metals and non-metals and they could not be placed in any of the two classes. Dobereiner’s triads In 1829, Dobereiner, a German scientist made some groups of three elements each and called them triads.He obs

MCQ and Study notes Air pollution is described as any change in the composition of air either by physical or chemical methods so as to cause harmful effects on health. The substances which contaminate the air are called air pollutants. Sources of Air Pollution are : 1. Natural sources 2. Man-made (anthropogenic) sources. Natural sources: Volcanic eruption, forest fire, sea salt sprays, biological decay, photochemical oxidation of terpenes oil , marshes, pollengrains, spores, etc., Man made sources : Industrial emissions, vehicles, aeroplanes, power stations and burning of fuels, etc., Mainly air pollution is caused due to burning of fuels to run vehicles, and from chimneys of factories and power stations. The Green House Effect : Some of the infrared radiation from the earth passes through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This warms up the Earth’s surface and the lower atmosphe

CBSE PHYSICS: IX Physics Sound NCERT Solutions Explain how sound is produced by your school bell. When the bell continues to move forward and backward, it creates a series of compressions and rarefactions. In this  way a bell  produce the sound . Why sound waves are called mechanical waves? Sound waves need the material medium to vibrate and propagate. Hence, these waves are known as mechanical waves. Sound waves propagate through a medium because of the interaction of the particles present in that medium. Suppose you and your friend are on the moon. Will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend? Sound needs a medium to propagate. Since there is no material medium on the moon due to absence of atmosphere, you cannot hear any sound on the moon. Page 166 : Which wave property determines (a) loudness, (b) pitch? (a) Amplitude of sound wave determines the loudness of a sound. The amplitude of a sound directly proportional to amplitude of wave. If the amplitude of a sou
