Class 10 Science online notes-Electricity

It has been scientifically proven that the electric charges are of two types- positive charges and negative charges. The charge acquired by a glass rod is called positive charge and the charge acquired by an Ebonite rod is called negative charge.

Let’s discuss the property for electric charges are

Opposite charges attract each other.
Similar charges repel each other.

The SI unit of electric charge is Coulomb which is denoted by the letter C. All the matter around positively charged particles called protons and negatively charged particles called electrons.

A proton possesses a positive charge of 1.6 X Whereas electron possesses a negative charge 1.6 X .

Conductors and Insulators

A conductor is a substance through which electricity can flow. Eg:- Silver, copper, aluminum, etc.

Insulators are the substances through which electricity cannot flow are called insulators. Eg:- Glass,Ebonite, rubber, etc.

Moving forward, now understand how the conductors work?

All the conductors have some electrons which are loosely held by the nuclei of their atoms. These electrons are called “Free electrons” and can move from one atom to another atom throughout the conductor. The presence of “free electrons” in a substance makes it a conductor.

Electricity can be divided into two parts:-

Static electricity-In this electrifying, the electric charges remain at rest as they do not move.
Current electricity-In this electrifying, the electric charges are in The electricity we use it in our homes is called current electricity.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva
