Basic Bhysics

Cell » Cell is a device which provide necessary potential difference to an electric circuit to maintain a continuous flow of current in it .
or
it is a source of energy that maintains a continuous flow of charge in a circuit Electric cell change chemical energy into electrical energy.

EMF ( electromotive force) of a cell »
EMF of a cell may be defined as the potential difference between its terminal i.e when circuit is open.
Or
The work done  by cell in moving unit positive charge through the whole circuit (include the cell ) is called EMF of the cell .
EMF = work/charge
Emf=w/q

SI unit – volt ( J/s)

Terminal potential difference:-
The potential drop across the terminals of a cell when current is being drawn from it is called terminal potential difference (closed circuit).

It is denoted by – 'V'
SI unit – volt

Internal resistance of a cell:-
The resistance offered by the electrolyte of cell to the flow of current between the electrode is called internal resistance of a cell
It is denoted by – ' r'
SI unit – ohm



★Internal resistance of a cell depends upon following factors :-
» Nature of electrolyte.
» Directly proportional to concentration of the electrolyte.
» Directly proportional to the separation distance between the two electrolytes.
» Inversely proportional to the area of the plate dipped into the electrolyte.
»It is increase with the decrease in  the temperature of electrolyte.

Climate Change and Los Angeles Wildfires

  Climate Change and Los Angeles Wildfires: A Growing Crisis Wildfires in Los Angeles have become more frequent and destructive, largely driven by climate change. Rising global temperatures, prolonged droughts, and extreme weather events are fueling this escalating problem, posing serious risks to people, property, and the environment. How Climate Change Fuels Los Angeles Wildfires 1. Rising Temperatures Climate change has led to higher temperatures, creating hotter and drier conditions. These extreme conditions dry out vegetation, turning it into flammable fuel for wildfires. 2. Longer Fire Seasons California’s wildfire season now spans almost the entire year. This extended season is caused by earlier snowmelt, reduced rainfall, and prolonged dry spells due to climate change. 3. Drought and Vegetation Stress Persistent droughts in Los Angeles weaken vegetation, making it more susceptible to fires. Climate change exacerbates these droughts, increasing wildfire risks. 4. Extreme Wea...

A organic material manure

 An organic material used as a natural fertilizer to enrich the nutrients of soil and promote plant growth is Manure.  It primarily or mainly consists of animal waste (like cow dung, horse manure, poultry droppings) mixed with bedding materials such as straw or hay. Manure provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the soil, improving its fertility and structure. Types of Manure:__ 1. Green Manure: This type of manure is made by growing and plowing under specific plants (e.g., legumes) to improve soil fertility. 2. Animal Manure: This kind of manure is produced from livestock waste, commonly used in farming. 3. Compost Manure: This kind of manure is made by decomposing organic household and garden waste into nutrient-rich humus. Benefits of Manure are as follows:__ __It enhances structure of soil by improving aeration and drainage. __It provides essential nutrients for plant growth. __It encourages microbial activity in the soil, making nutr...

Indian standard code for civil engineering

What are IS Codes for Civil Engineering? IS codes, also known as Indian Standard codes, are a collection of standards formulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for diverse aspects of civil engineering. These codes offer guidelines, specifications, and safety prerequisites for construction materials, design parameters, testing techniques, and construction practices. They serve as a reference to guarantee consistency, safety, and excellence in civil engineering projects throughout India. List of IS Codes for Civil Engineering IS Code for Cement and Concrete IS 269:1989: Ordinary Portland cement, OPC 33 IS 383:1970: Coarse and Fine aggregates from natural sources for concrete IS 455:1989: Portland slag cement IS 456:2000: Code of practice for plain concrete and reinforced concrete (PCC and RCC) IS  code >>> read more
