A fuel is that substance which, on combustion can provide sufficient energy in a convenient form for sustained use over a long period of time.
Two important characteristics of a good fuel are:
(i) The fuel is available easily at an economic price and can be conveniently transported and stored.
(ii) What is the amount and rate of release of heat energy by the fuel on burning and whether any smoke is produced or not.

When a circular coil of N tums is placed vertically in east-west direction and a current is passed through it, the magnetic field at the centre of coil points horizontally along north-south direction.

When a circular coil of N tums is placed vertically in east-west direction and a current is passed through it, the magnetic field at the centre of coil points horizontally along north-south direction. The magnetic compass needle placed there was already pointing in north-south direction’ Hence there is no deflection shown by the magnetic needle’ When the coil is turned through 90° about a vertical axis, the coil is now in north-south direction and magnetic field due to current is along east-west direction horizontally. As a result the magnetic needle shows deflection. When the coil is further turned through 90° it again lies in east-west direction vertically and magnetic field due to current flow in the coil is along north-south horizontally. Hence, the magnetic needle remains in its equilibrium position and shows no deflection.
In multicellular organisms, the body size is large and diffusion pressure alone is not enough to carry food, exchange gases or remove wastes. If diffusion were to move oxygen in our body, it is estimated that it would take 3 years for a molecule of oxygen to get to our toes from our lungs. Thus, mulRead more

If diffusion were to move oxygen in our body, it is estimated that it would take 3 years for a molecule of oxygen to get to our toes from our lungs. Thus, multicellular organisms have developed various organs/organ systems for transportation of gases, wastes, food etc., like blood in animals or xylem and phloem in plants etc.

Medha is the Eco-club prefect of her school. She knows about one school being a zero-garbage zone. She showed her willingness to her teachers to do the same in her school. She decided to put different coloured dust bins for segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage as the first step. Now answer the following questions: (i) why does Medha want to segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste? (ii) State the values that prompted that action of Medha. (iii) What can Medha do with the biodegradable waste ?
(i) Medha wants to segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste so that these can be properly and safely disposed of without causing any harm to environment and ecology. (ii) Medha is a conscientious student who believes that our environment must remain clean and non-polluted and all of us caRead more

A circular coil of N turns is placed vertically with its plane in east-west direction. A magnetic compass needle is placed at the centre of the coil. Will the magnetic needle show any deflection when current is passed through the coil? How will the deflection change as we turn the coil at 90° about a vertical axis keeping the magnetic needle fixed? What would happen to the deflection if the coil is further rotated through 90°?
