xA CFL has a unit of electronic circuit and fluorescent tubecontaining mercury vapour.
LED Lampsx
A very low power is enough for LED lamps.
Electromagnetic InductionxThe magnetic flux associated with a coil changes by the
relative motion of the coil or magnet.
x
The phenomenon of producing an in a conductor as aresult of change in the magnetic flux linked with the
conductor is electromagnetic induction.xThe developed due to electromagnetic induction is
called induced and the current so obtained is calledinduced current.
xGenerator, moving coil microphone etc. work on theprinciple of electromagnetic induction.
Generators are two types.AC generator
x
Generator gives alternating current.xMain parts:
Field magnet: This is the magnet which producesmagnetic flux in a generator.
Armature: An armature is an arrangement of insulatedcopper wire wound on a soft iron core.
Slip rings: They are full rings fused to the ends of thearmature coil.
Brushes:An arrangement that is always in contact withthe slip rings
xWorking: When the armature rotates in the magneticfield, an alternating is induced in the coil. The currentis carried to the external circuit through the brusheskeeping contact with the slip rings.
xDifferent stages of the rotation of the armature: Duringthe first half of rotation the current begins from zero and
reaches the maximum positive value, then decreases

gradually and comes to zero. In the second half, thecurrent reaches the maximum negative value, thendecreases gradually and reaches zero.
x
As a result of variation of the magnetic flux linked with aconductor, a current is induced in it, the direction ofwhich changes continuously. This is known as alternatingCurrent (AC).
DC generator
xDC Generator gives direct current.xField magnet, armature and split rings are main parts.xWorking: When the armature rotates in the magnetic
field, an alternating is induced in the coil. The flux cotin the first half of the rotation is in one direction and inthe opposite direction during-the second half rotation.Hence the direction of flow of current in the armaturechanges. When the direction of the current in thearmature changes during the successive half rotations,the contact of one half of the split ring shifts from onebrush to the other. So the-direction of the current in theexternal circuit does not change.
Similarities and dissimilarities of the structure ofan AC generator with a DC generator
xField magnet, armature and brushes are common in ACgenerator and DC generator.
xIn an AC generator the end points of the armature coil areconnected to slip rings but in DC generator the end points
of the armature coils are connected to split rings.
Moving coil microphonexIn moving coil microphone, the voice coil remains in the
magnetic gap of a powerful magnet. The voice coil vibrateswith the vibrations of the diaphragm when sound wavesfall on it. The movement of the voice coil across themagnetic field induces an electric current in the coil. The
intensity of the current varies in accordance with thevariations of sound waves falling on the diaphragm.

xWhen the intensity of sound produced in front of thediaphragm increases; the amplitude of the inducedelectric signal formed in the coil also increases.
x
In moving coil microphone sound energy is converted intoelectrical energy
Mutual inductionxA magnetic field is generated around the primary solenoid
when an electric current is passed through it byconnecting the ends of the solenoid to a battery cell. But
induced is not produced in the secondary solenoid asthere is no change in this magnetic flux. When the switch
is on and off the flux linked with the secondary coilchanges and thus an is induced in the secondary coil.
x
Here AC is passed through the primary coil. The directionof ac changes at regular interval continuously. As thesecondary coil is located at this magnetic field whichchanges at regular interval continuously, the change in
flux causes the production of an induced in thesecondary coil continuously. So the bulb glows
continuously. If the number of turns of the secondary ismore than the number of turns of the primary the inducedemf increases and if the number of turns of the secondaryis less than the number of turns of the primary theinduced emf decreases.
xWhen there are two nearby coils the variation of currentin one of them produces a change in the magnetic flux
around it and an is induced in the secondary coil.
Transformer: Transformer are Two typesStep up transformer

Self-Inductancex
It is the phenomenon of inducing emf in a coil caused bythe variation of magnetic flux produced by a varyingcurrent in the same coil.
xThe effective voltage is reduced through a conductor dueto back emf.

A voice coil placed between the poles of a permanentmagnet is the important part of a loud speaker. Adiaphragm is attached to this coil.
xThe electrical signal corresponding to the variations ofsound from the microphone is amplified by an amplifierand is fed to the voice coil. The voice coil vibrates inaccordance with the intensities of the electrical signals.
These vibrations induce vibrations on the paper cone
attached to the coil causing vibrations to the air around it.As a result, the original sound is reproduced more loudly.

From the surface of the sun, there is a massive flow ofhelium nuclei (alpha particles) and hydrogen nuclei(protons). This is the solar wind
Solar prominencesxSometimes huge flames rise from the surface of the sun
and fall back in the form of an arch. They are the solarprominences.
xThere a relation between the colours and temperatures of
the stars.

Nebula
xThe gaseous cloud in the interstellar space is the birthplace of stars. These are known as nebula.
xThe contraction of the gaseous cloud in the nebula due togravitation, initiates the birth of a star.
xA star becomes visible to us only when the energy due tofusion is produced.
Path of evolution of the sun
x
Nebula Primitive star Main sequence star Redgiant White dwarf Black dwarf
Galaxy
xA galaxy is a cluster of billions of stars and interstellarmatter, bound by gravitational force.
xThere are billions of galaxies in the universexMilky Way is our galaxy.xIt takes 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach the
earth.Astronomical Unit
x
The distance between the sun and earth.Light Year
x
The distance travelled by light in one year.x
Dr. Vikram Sarabai (1919 - 1997), is the the father ofIndian Space Research.
xIndian scientists have been able to develop many artificialsatellites and launching vehicles like GSLV(Geosynchronous Satellite Launching Vehicle) to launchgeostationary satellites, PSLV (Polar Satellite LaunchVehicles) to launch polar satellites etc.
Equatorial satellites (Geostationary satellites)xEquatorial satellites revolve around the earth along an
orbit above the equator. If their period of revolution is thesame us the period of the rotation of the earth, they arecalled geostationary satellites.
Polar satellitesxThe satellites revolving along an orbit passing above the
north and south poles of the earth at an altitude of 200-1000 km are called polar satellites.

Combustion/Burning
xBurning is the process in which heat and light are formed
by the intense reaction of substances with oxygen.Fuels
xFuels are substances to produces heat energy.Substances formed when fuels burn
x
Carbon dioxide; Charcoal ; Water vapour; Carbonmonoxide (CO)
Conditions for the complete combustion
xDryness
x
Adequate supply of oxygen.x
Facilities for the removal of gases produced as a result ofcombustion.
Partial burning
x
In the absence of sufficient quantity of oxygen, carbonmonoxide is formed in a greater measure, carbon dioxideand smoke in a small measure. This kind of burning ispartial burning.
Drawbacks of partial combustionxFuel lossx
Wastage of timexLarge scale environmental pollution.x
Large quantity of smoke is produced.xIncrease the amount of C and CO.
Source of fuels
x
Diesel, LPG Petroleumx
Petrol, Naphtha PetroleumxCNG Natural gas
x
Coal Coalx
Hydrogen WaterxKerosene PetroleumxFire wood Trees
xElectricity Power stations, water, fossil fuelsFossil fuels
xFossil fuels ate formed by the transformation of animalsand plants buried in the earth millions of years ago, in theabsence of air, at high temperature and pressure.
x
Coal, petroleum and natural gas are fossil fuels.x
They are non-renewable sources of energy.

Calorific valuexThe amount of heat liberates by the complete combustion
of 1 kg of fuel is its calorific value.
x
Its unit is joule/kilogram.xHydrogen is the fuel which has the highest calorific value.xHydrogen is used as a fuel in rockets
BiomassxBiowastes are generally known as biomass.
Properties must a substance have in order to beconsidered as a good fuel are
xIncreased availability; low cost; minimum atmospheric
pollution; a liquid fuel must not evaporate quickly atordinary temperatures; low ignition temperature; easy tostore and transport.
The problems that arise due to their combustion are
xSmoke is produced; Carbon monoxide is formed ; Gaseslike sulphur dioxide are formed
Solar devicesxSolar Panel; Solar water heater; Solar cooker; Solar
thermal power plant.
