Ohm's Law in detail and depth...

There are few great 'Laws' in our text books. Newtons law, Einsteins theory of relativity, Fleming's Law etc. Most of the students of 2nd PU may know it. The question is that they can answer if anyone make those students to answer even at 12. What's the benefit he/she gets after reading! Believe me. Many of us do not know how to covert Km /hr  to m/s . Few are in search of formula. Only thing what we require is Common sense. It is true that farmulas need to be learnt. You should know how the formula is derived as well. You should be able to find out the formula even if you forget it. If so, how should we read? In simple words we must understand Basics.
   
                  Ohm's law
What does it state? In a conductor if u double the potential across it , current also gets doubled. (In a conductor, the current flowing through it is directly proportional to the potential difference across it) You should have a strong grip over these subjects.
   Current is nothing but the movement of charge. (flow of charge is current) In a conductor take a  cross section area(A).Just find the no.of charges flowing across the area in 60 seconds. Divide the total charge by 60. You got the Current now!
    how to measure Charge? Such questions in your head should come in. That's the time when you start finding out. Here you have an interesting thing. Those  moving charges are positive/negative?  I got to see 2 contrasting statements in 9th standard text book.
   1) electrons move from negative end of    the battery to the positive end. This current is called negative current.
  2) positive charges move from negative to the positive end of battery. This is called positive current.
     
     
  Among these two statements, i do not know to select one. Looks so contrastive. I'm sure that you are also confused. Positive charges are moving? Negative charges are moving? Or both? Beloved Physics lecturer had been taking class. That time i realised the fact that only electrons are moving not protons. Protons are very heavy. Mass of electrons are negligible
   
    Electrons move like a drunker. Movement is not linear, but vectorial summation could be linear. 
   We know that electrons are the sole reason for current(i). Lets be positive. Imagine that electrons are  stationary, equal amount of positive charges(q) are traveling in the opposite direction. Actually positive charges are not moving where as electrons are moving. Among a 2 statements above, both equally mean same thing. Direction of movement of the positive charges are taken as the direction of current(i=q/t). We measure charges in Coulomb. 1 Coulomb is that charge got by summation of charges of 6.25 × (10) ¹8  electrons.
  
  "You should burn like Sun if you want to shine like Sun"said APJ. So we must work hard and smart and think in a different way to get success. What do you mean by Potential?  "Potential is the driving force". Potential difference is the one which drives the electrons. When electron is under potential difference, it is said to have potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy which is converted into  kinetic energy during movement. 
   What is Proportionality? Here potential (v) and the current (i) are directly proportional. i gets doubled if we double the v.  Similar if  tripled or halved also.
             v   proportional    i
       If you want to put '=' in between v and i , must multiply a constant either to v or i.  Lets multiply a constant R to i.
                        =               iR
This constant R is called Resistance.  It represents the resistance to the flow of electrons. It is measured in ohm.
         "A goal without a plan is just a wish". Please have a dream and try to chase it. Prepare a plan for that. Remember this is competitive generation. You need to face so many difficult exams like NEET, JEE etc. I think they are not that difficult if you have a depth of concepts.

Foreword to Avyukta English

Avyuktha is a word of Sanskrit origin. It means crystal clear. Contextually it sounds two meanings.    1) To be transparent    2)To understand easily We through this blog aim at providing     1) An inch of knowledge about different fields     2) Synchronise modern thoughts with ancient Indian knowledge  

Why are you so irrational Mr.Pi?

The story starts almost 4000 years back in the civilization of Babylonia. With civilization, started man's interaction with geometry. There was a need to understand geometry of everyday objects to make life easier. It so happened that the Mathematician or Logician of that period came across an ingenious method for some purpose. But for it to work there was a small hitch which had to be solved. i.e he wanted area.of square some size to be equal to area.of circle some radius. His problem was to find the radius given the side of square or vice versa. Poor guy struggled hard, looking at his struggle others of his era helped him .But none succeeded. Around a century or two later and 3000 km away in Greece this problem was recast by Hippocrates as "Quadrature of Circle" i.e the problem was to construct a circle from a square just by using an unmarked straight edge and a compass. Even he failed. Soon the list of failed got longer and longer, including some great mathemat

Ripples in the Cosmos : Einstein's Messengers

Relativity was called “Einstein's Symphony”. Such was its beauty and Mathematical consistencies. Einstein had proposed his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905 and further generalised it to the gravitational case in his General Theory of Relativity in 1915.  Among many predictions, the bending of light due to gravitational fields was the most accessible at the time. This was confirmed  on May 29, 1919 , at the end of First World War by Sir Arthur Edington when he observed total solar eclipse by travelling to South Africa. This was a major triumph and set the base for further exploration in General Relativity and gave it the credibility. It  predicted many phenomena like Black Holes, Gravitational Lensing etc. All of these were confirmed and one of the last unconfirmed major predictions was Gravitational Waves.
