Magnetic Effects of Electric Current and Magnetism Notes for Class 11 – 12 Ampere’s Law The line integral of the magnetic field in a continuous closed path or loop is µ₀ times the total electric current passed in the region enclosed by the path. Tesla When 1 coulomb of charge moves at a velocity of … Read more
Current Electricity Notes for Class 11 – 12 Ohm’s law Electricity flows when there is a potential difference between the ends of a conductor. In 1877 German scientist George Simon Ohm carried out an experiment on how electricity. Resistance The property of a conductor which opposes the flow of current is called the resistance of … Read more
Thermodynamics Notes for Class 11 – 12 Principle of Measurement of Temperature Thermometric Property The property of any matter that can be used for measuring temperature is called thermometric property. Examples of thermometric properties are altitude of liquid in a capillary tube, pressure of gas in constant volume or a certain volume of gas in … Read more
Static Electricity Notes for Class 11 – 12 Charge Charge is the distinct property of fundamental particles that electrifies an object. Types of charge There are two types of charges. They are a) positive charge and b) negative charge. Properties of Charge ⇒Like charges repeal each other. ⇒Unlike charges attract each other. Coulomb’s Law The … Read more
Explain the acceleration of a falling body. The acceleration of a falling body is a perfect example of uniform velocity. Due to gravity, the acceleration of a freely falling body is 9.8 ms⁻². If we drop a body from the air its velocity increases by 9.8 ms⁻¹ in 1st second. Again, its velocity increases by … Read more
Space, time, and mass in physics Classical mechanics is known as Newtonian mechanics. In this mechanics concept of three fundamental quantities has been considered. These are space, time, and mass. Space: According to Newton, space is an absolute quantity that exists in itself. It is not related to any outer or external thing and is … Read more
