Study Notes

Mahatma Gandhi returned to India from South Africa in January 1915
In 1916, Gandhi visited Bihar to motivate peasants against oppressive plantation system
Led Satyagraha in Kheda district, Gujarat in 1917 for peasants' revenue demands relaxation
In 1918, Gandhi organized Satyagraha among cotton mill workers in Ahmedabad
Rowlatt Act passed in 1919, granting broad government powers, detaining political prisoners without trial for 2 years
April 13, 1919: Large crowd gathered at Jallianwalla Bagh, General Dyer ordered troops to fire on unarmed crowd, killing hundreds
Conductor resistance: Property hindering electric charge flow, measured in ohms (Ω)
Length (L), cross-sectional area (A), material resistivity (ρ), and temperature (T) affect conductor resistance
Ohm's Law: I=V/R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance, derived from material's resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area.
Electric circuit: Closed loop facilitating electric current flow, includes a current source, load, switch, fuse, and interconnecting wires.
Circuit diagram: Visual representation of a circuit, depicting components with symbols.
Ohm's Law: Principle stating electric current's direct proportionality to potential difference across a conductor's terminals, under constant temperature conditions.
