potential difference class 10

 

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL AND POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE

 

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL OR POTENTIAL:-

In the Electric field , the electric potential is expressed as the work done in moving a unit  positive charge (+ve) from infinity to that particular point.

This is illustrated with a simple example.

Here , water do not flow in horizontal tube. So one end of tube of filled water tank or high level water tank  is connected to the empty tank or low level water tank , so that there will be pressure difference between the two ends of the tube . so the water flows from higher level water tank to end of the tube of low level water tank.

Similarly , in case of flows of charge in copper wire. In conducting metallic wire , there is a difference of electric pressure which is also called potential difference. Charges in metallic wire , also  flow from  a higher potential to lower potential.

Its noted that , there is no role of gravity for flow of charges.

 

 

 

POTENTIAL DIFFERNCE :--

 

The potential difference is defined as the work done to move a unit charge from one point to another point.

The SI unit of Potential Difference is volt which is denoted as V.

Potential difference (V) between two points = work done / charge

Its also expressed as :-

V = W/Q

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. ...

Food chains and webs, Tropic levels

Image
Food chains and webs   Food chain is the sequence of organisms in which nutrients and energy is transferred in the form of food from one organism to another organisms. Food chain is the possible pathway in which nutrients and energy is transferred through an ecosystem. A food chain is the linear network of links in which a food web is starting from producers organisms and is ending at decomposers.   A food chain shows a series or organisms taking part at various biotic level. Each steps or levels of the food chain forms a tropic level . The tropic level of an organisms is the position it occupies in a food web. Organisms in food chain are grouped into categories are known as trophic levels. Tropic levels are divided into various levels:--   Producers:--                      The producers or the autotrophs are the first trophic level.   All green plant...

Eco system

                            Eco system   Eco system is a complex relationship among all organisms such as plants , animals , microorganisms and the human beings and the physical surroundings. And they interact with each other and maintain a balance in environment. An ecosystem is a biological community   of interacting organisms   and their physical environment with non-living organisms form an ecosystem. Thus, an eco system consists of biotic and abiotic components A biotic   component comprising all living organisms. A abiotic components comprising physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind soil, minerals, etc.   A garden is an eco system In a garden, when we go to the garden, we see that there is different types of plants like as grasses, trees, flower plants like rose jasmine, etc and animals like frogs...
