CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY

Conductors are the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them. They conduct electricity because they allow electrons to flow easily inside them from atom to atom. Also, conductors allow the transmission of heat or light from one source to another.

EXAMPLE:

humans, earth, and animals are all conductors. This is the reason we get electric shocks! Moreover, the human body is a good conductor. 



GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY:






 GOOD CONDUCTORS ARE THOSE MATERIAL WHICH ALSO ELECTRICITY TO PASS THROUGH IT EASILY. ALSO THEY CAN BE USED TO MAKE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT.


EXAMPLES:
  •                         COPPER
  •                         ALUMINIUM
  •                          TAP WATER
  •                           LEMON JUICE
  •                            MERCURY
  •                             SILVER
  •                              GOLD
  •                               STEEL
  •                              IRON 
  •                              SEA WATER
  •                            

  1.                              




BAD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY:



BAD CONDUCTOR ARE THOSE MATERIAL WHICH DO NOT ALLOW ELECTRICITY TO PASS THROUGH IT EASILY. ALSO THEY CANNOT BE USED TO MAKE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT.

EXAMPLES: 
  •                          DISTILLED WATER
  •                           WOOD
  •                             ALCOHOL
  •                             PLASTIC 
  •                              RUBBER
  •                             AIR
  •                              OIL
  •                              PURE WATER
  •                              DRY COTTON
  •                               QUARTZ
  •                               DRY PAPER





INSULATORS:

  1. a material of such low conductivity that the flow of current through it is negligible.
  2. insulating material, often glass or porcelain, in a unit form designed so as to support a charged conductor and electrically isolate it.
   Insulators are materials that inhibit the flow of electrical current. The opposite     of conductors, which allow electric particles to flow freely, insulators are         implemented in household items and electrical circuits as protection. Thermal     insulation is similar, but it constricts the flow of heat rather than electricity.

  Theory of intelligence What is intelligence?   The word intelligence is derived from the word "intelligentia" which means "to understand". It is defined as the ability to perceive and retain the knowledge. Intelligence has been defined in many ways in terms of logic, understanding, self aware, learning, creativity etc. Many psychologists talked about the theory of intelligence like Spearmen, Thurstone, Gardner, Sternberg. Today we will discuss about " TRIARCHIC THEORY OF INTELLIGENCE " . In 1985 Robert Sternberg proposed theory. It is called TRIARCHIC theory because he talks about intelligence in three aspects . Kinds of intelligence? The three aspects are: PRACTICAL INTELLIGENCE CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE ANALYTICAL INTELLIGENCE 1 ) Practical intelligence : in this type sternberg talk about ability of a person to interact with everyday world successfully. it is also called "contexual intelligence". Such people deal with everyday task which is rel...

  POLLUTION Pollution  is the introduction of  harmful  materials into the  environment . These harmful materials are called  pollutant s. Pollutants can be natural, such as  volcanic ash . They can also be created by human activity, such as trash or  runoff  produced by factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air, water, and land. TYPES OF POLLUTION :- Air pollution        refers to the release of harmful contaminants (chemicals, toxic gases, particulates, biological molecules, etc.) into the earth’s atmosphere. These contaminants are quite detrimental and in some cases, pose serious health issues. Some causes that contribute to air pollution are:           Burning fossil fuels           Mining operations           Exhaust gases from industries and factories ·  ...

  DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system allows us to utilize food from such diverse sources as meat from an animal and the roots of a plant, and utilize them as an energy source. Whether it is the ability to coordinate the chewing of the food without injuring our tongue and lips or the propulsion of the food from the stomach into the duodenum while releasing the appropriate enzymes, our digestive system allows us to manage the process without much thought and often while performing other tasks. PARTS OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM MOUTH The mouth is the entry point for food, but the digestive system often gets ready before the first piece of food even enters our mouth. Saliva is released by the salivary glands into our oral cavity  when we smell food. Once the food enters the mouth, chewing (mastication) breaks food into smaller particles that can be more easily attacked by the enzymes in saliva. PHARYNX AND ESOPHAGUS The pharynx (throat) is the transition area from the mouth to the...
