Unit 7 : Radioactivity.(part 1) 7.1 Atomic structure The atom consists of nucleus located in the centre which is made up of the protons and neutrons. Protons: Positively charged particle. Have same mass of neutron. Neutrons: Neutral charge and mass is same as proton. Electrons: Circulating around the nucleus of an atoms, have a negative charge. An atom is electrically neutral as it has equal number of protons and electrons and positive charges cancels out the negative charges. Ions: There can be a positive ion or negative ion; if electron is taken away from an atom it becomes positively charged as the number of protons in that particular atom is more than the electrons A negatively charged ion will have a greater number of electrons than protons. Ions are found in pairs as a charged particle will attract another ion with opposite charges and will b...

This happens because he direction of coil in current is reversed, so there are continuous forces acting on coil to keep it turning. The steps of commutator working are: a)   Current flowing through the commutator causes side A to move upward and side B to move downwards. b)   ...

 Unit 6: Magnetism and Electromagnetism. You can download your copy of notes here. UNIT 6: Magnetism and Electromagnetism When a bar of magnet is hung from a thin thread and allowed to swing, it stops swinging and the pole of magnet facing the north side is known as the north pole and south-seeking pole is known as south pole. Metals such as iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic which means a magnet will attract this metal. For example, if there are iron pins fallen then can be quickly collected with the help of a magnet. Two like pole (N and N pole, S and S Pole) will repel each other. But unlike poles will attract each other. Practical 1: Magnetic Fields  Method 1: a) Place a compass on a piece of paper, with pencil plot a dot on the north side of compass needle. b) Shift the compass to next position in contact with the dot and mark the position of second needle. c) Repeating the process so that a field line is traced from the north to the south pole in magnet with a...
