Study Notes
Measurement of Electric Current
- Current measurement units include milliampere (mA) and microampere (μA).
- Conversion: 1000 mA equals 1 A, and 1000 μA equals 1 mA.
- An ammeter is the device used for measuring electric current, denoted by the symbol A.
- For small currents, milliammeter or microammeter is preferable.
Ammeter and Circuit Connection
- Ammeter and milliammeter have two terminals: positive (often red) and negative (often black).
- Correct terminal connection is essential when measuring current in a circuit.
- To measure current, connect the ammeter or milliammeter in series within the circuit.
Experiment Activities
- Activity 7.4 involves setting up a circuit with ammeter/milliammeter to measure current through bulbs.
- The experiment requires basic components: two dry cells, torch bulbs, bulb holders, wires, switches, and an ammeter/milliammeter.
- Discussion on ease of reading current with ammeter versus milliammeter is encouraged.
Properties and Terminology
- The electric current is generally less than 1 A, indicating the use of milliammeter for accurate measurements.
- Key terms:
- Electric current: úoHq;a Odrdj
- Voltage: fjda,aàh;djh
- Resistance: m%;sfrdaOh
Changes in Matter
- Matter changes are categorized into physical and chemical changes.
- Physical changes do not alter the composition of substances, e.g., tearing paper.
- Chemical changes result in new substances, e.g., burning paper.
Experiment Activities on Changes
- Activity 8.1 examines physical changes using calcium chloride crystals and rusting.
- Activity 8.16 explores rusting involving iron filings and moisture.
Acids, Bases, and pH Testing
- Activity 8.17 involves testing different solutions (hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride) with litmus and pH paper.
- Observations classify solutions as acidic, basic, or neutral based on color reactions with litmus and pH tests.
Chemical Reactions and Neutralization
- Acid-base reactions are demonstrated, essential for understanding stomach acidity and pain relief, like using milk of magnesia.
- Lime is applied to acidic soils to neutralize them.
Summary of Changes
- Two main types of changes: physical (composition unchanged) and chemical (new substances formed).
- Common examples of chemical changes include rusting, combustion, and neutralization.
- Evidence for chemical reactions includes heat change, gas evolution, formation of precipitates, color changes, and temperature variations.
- The mass of reactants equals the mass of products in chemical reactions, confirming the Law of Conservation of Mass.
