FORCE EFFECTS OF FORCE To define force first of all one has to see the effects of force. By ‘effects of force’ we mean what force can do or what changes a force can bring about.

ILLUSTRATIONS 1.

Effects of Force : A force can produce the following effects : (i) A force can move a stationary body. (ii) A force can stop a moving body. (iii) A force can change the speed of a moving body. (iv) A force can change the direction of a moving body.

A force produces an acceleration of 5.0 cm/s2 in a body of mass 20g. Then find out the force acting on the body in Newton.

Sol. Acceleration of the body, a = 5 cm/s = 0.05 m/s Mass of the body, m = 20 g = 0.02 kg  F = ma F = 0.05 × 0.02 = 10–3 N 2.

A force of 15 N acts on a body of mass 5 kg for 2s. What is the change in velocity of body ?

(v) A force can change the shape (and size) of a body. Sol. Given : F = 15 N , t = 2s , m = 5 kg F = ma Based on the effects of force, it may be defined as : a= Force is a pull or push, which changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body or changes its direction or shape. (a) Mathematical Representation of Force : Mathematically, force F is equal to the product of mass, m of a body and acceleration a, produced in the body due to that force. i.e. F = ma Where a = final velocity – initial velocity/time (b) Units of Force : (i) In C.G.S. system :

a =

F 15 = = 3 m/s2 m 5

v u v – u = at = 3 × 2 = 6m/s t

RESULTANT FORCE Many forces may be simultaneously applied on a body, for example- several persons may jointly make an effort to move a heavy body, each person pushes it i.e. each person applies a force on it. t is also possible that a stronger man pushes that body hard enough and produces same acceleration in it. f a single force acting on a body produces the same acceleration as produced by a number of forces, then that single force is called the resultant force of these individual forces .

 F = ma  gram × cm/s2 = dyne If m = 1 gram, a = 1 cm/s2, then F = 1 dyne When a force is applied on a 1 gram body and the acceleration produced in the body is 1 cm/s2 then the force acting on the body will be one dyne. (ii) In S.I. system : F = ma  kg × m/s2 = Newton If m = 1 kg and a = 1 m/s2 then by F = ma, F = 1 × 1 = 1 kg × m/s2 = 1 Newton. If a force is applied on a body of mass 1 kg and acceleration produced in the body is 1 m/s2 then the force acting on the body will be one Newton. 

Relationship between the newton and dyne 1 N = 1 kg × 1 m s–2 = 1000 g × 100 cm s–2 = 100000 g cm s–2 = 105 dyne

BALANCED AND UNBALANCED FORCES Suppose a toy car can move on its wheels along eastwest direction. If we push the car with our left hand, it moves towards east. If we push the car with our right hand, it will move towards west. If we push the car with our left hand towards east and with right hand towards west simultaneously, it is possible that the car will remain at rest.n this case the forces balance each other and there is no acceleration. So if a set of forces acting on a body produces no acceleration in it, the forces are said to be balanced forces.f it produces a non-zero acceleration, the forces are said to be unbalanced. If two forces balance each other, they must be in opposite direction and have equal magnitudes.

Thus 1 N = 105 dyne

as force of friction. If we increase the applied force and the body is still at rest, it means force of friction also increases till it is balanced by the applied force. The force of friction is self adjusting force. On increasing the applied force the force of friction will increase upto a limit. t is known as limiting friction after it on increasing the applied force, the body starts to move.

(a) Definition of Balanced Forces : When two forces of equal magnitude are acting in opposite directions on an object simultaneously, then the object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line. Such forces acting on the object are known as balanced forces. (b) Definition of Unbalanced Forces :

Force of friction is of two types.

When two forces of unequal magnitudes are acting in opposite directions on an object simultaneously, then the object moves in the direction of a large force. These forces acting on the object are known as unbalanced forces.

(i) Static Friction : The magnitude of static friction is equal and opposite to the external force exerted, till the object at which force is exerted, is at rest. This means it is a variable and self adjusting force. However it has a maximum value called limiting friction. fs(max) = s N

SOME COMMON FORCES

The actual force of static friction may be smaller than sN and its value depends on other forces acting on the body. the magnitude of frictional force is equal to that required to keep the body at relative rest. 0  fs  fs(max)

(a) Contact Force : When a body A is in contact with body B, A can exert force on B and B can exert force on A, these forces are called contact forces. Push or pull by a person, force by wind, force by a weight on the head of a porter etc, are the examples of contact forces.

(ii) Kinetic Friction : The magnitude of the kinetic friction is proportional to the normal force acting between the two bodies. We can write fk  N fk = k N

(b) Normal Force: If the contact forces between the bodies are perpendicular to the surfaces in contact, then the forces are known as normal forces. Eg. : Consider a book on a table. The table pushes the book upwards and book pushes the table downwards, these forces are perpendicular to the surfaces of book and table. Thus the table applies a normal force on book in the upward direction and book applies a normal force on table in downward direction.

Where N is normal force. The proportionality constant k is called the coefficient of kinetic friction and its value depends of the nature of the two surfaces in contact. If the surfaces are smooth k will be small, if the surfaces are rough k will be large. It also depends on the materials of the two bodies in contact. 

Here s and k are proportionality constants. s is called coefficient of static friction and k is called coefficient of kinetic friction. They are dimensionless quantities and independent of shape and area of contact. It is a property of the two contact surfaces.

(c) Force of Friction : Two bodies placed in contact can also exert forces parallel to the surfaces in contact, such a force is called force of friction or simply friction.

normal force by table applied force force of friction table force by earth Suppose a body is placed on the table following three forces act on it : 

Force by earth in downward direction.



Normal force due to table in upward direction.



Applied force towards right.

NOTE :



s is always greater then k for a given pair of surfaces. If it is not mentioned, then s = k can be taken. The value of  can be from 0 to1. Following graph shows the variation of frictional force with applied force.The actual value of  depends on the degree of smoothness and other environmental factors. Eg. : Wood may be prepared at various degress of smoothness and the coefficient of friction will vary.

Body is not moving, so all the forces must be balanced. Normal force by table and force by earth are balanced with each other.To balance the applied force there must be an equal and opposite force. This force in known

(d) Force Exerted by Spring :

(f) Tension :

A spring is made of a coiled metallic wire having a definite length. When it is neither pushed nor pulled then its length is called natural length. At natural length the spring does not exert any force on the objects attached to its ends.f the spring is pulled at the ends, its length becomes larger than its natural length, it is known as stretched or extended spring. Extended spring pulls objects attached to its ends.

Tension is the magnitude of pulling force exerted by a string, cable, chain, rope etc. W hen a string is connected to a body and pulled out, the string said to be under tension. It pulls the body with a force T, whose direction is away from the body and along the length of the string. Usually strings are regarded to be massless and unstretchable, known as ideal string.

 Note : (i) Tension in a string is an electromagnetic force and it arises only when string is pulled. If a massless string is not pulled, tension in it is zero. (ii) String can not push a body in direct contact.

(a) Conservative Force :

B

A

Compressed spring If the spring is pushed at the ends, its length becomes less than natural length. It is known as compressed spring. A compressed spring pushes the objects attached to its ends.

A force is said to be conservative if the amount of work done in moving an object against that force is independent of how the object moves from the initial position to the final position. One important example of conservative force is the gravitational force. It means that amount of work done in moving a body against gravity from location A to location B is the same whichever path we may follow in going from A to B. This is illustrated in figure.

F = – kx x = compression in spring

(e) Weight : The earth attracts all the bodies towards its centre.The force exerted by the earth on the body is known as the weight of the body .It acts in vertically downward direction. These forces are not contact forces. If mass of the body is m and gravitational acceleration is g, then the weight of the body will be mg, here g = 9.8 m/s2.

This definition illuminates an important aspect of a conservative force viz. Work done by a conservative force is recoverable. Thus in figure, we shall have to do mgh amount of work in taking the body from A to B. However, when body is released from B, we recover mgh of work. Other examples of conservative forces are spring force, electrostatic force etc. (b) Non-Conservative Force : A force is non-conservative if the work done by that force on a particle moving between two points depends on the path taken between the points. PAGE # 3

The force of friction is an example of non-conservative force. Let us illustrate this with an instructive example. Suppose we were to displace a book between two points on a rough horizontal surface (such as a table). If the book is displaced in a straight line between the two points, the work done by friction is simply FS where :

v

v

(c)

F = force of friction ; If the other side is made horizontal, the ball will never stop because it will never be able to reach the same height, it means its speed will not decrease. It will have uniform velocity on the horizontal surface. Thus, if unbalanced forces do not act on a body, the body will either remain at rest or will move with a uniform velocity. It will remain unaccelerated.

S = distance between the points. However, if the book is moved along any other path between the two points (such as a semicircular path), the work done by friction would be greater than FS. Finally, if the book is moved through any closed path, the work done by friction is never zero, it is always negative. Thus the work done by a non-conservative force is not recoverable, as it is for a conservative force.

GALILEO’S EXPERIMENTS



Newton concluded the idea suggested by Galileo and was formulated in the laws by Newton.

NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION

Experiment 1 : It was observed by Galileo that when a ball is rolled down on an inclined frictionless plane its speed increases, whereas if it is rolled up an inclined frictionless plane its speed decreases .If it is rolled on a horizontal frictionless plane the result must be between the cases describe above i.e. the speed

Every body remain in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled by some external force. It means a body remain unaccelerated if and only if, the resultant force on it is zero. In such a case the body is said to be in equilibrium.

should remain constant. It can be explain as :

INERTIA (a) Definition of Inertia : The tendency of the body to oppose the change its states of rest or uniform motion in a straight line is called inertia. Newton’s first law of motion is also called law of inertia. (b) Description : v’

v v’ = v

moving down : speed increases moving up : speed decreases moving horizontal : speed remains constant

It follows from first law of motion that in absence of any external force, a body continues to be in its state of rest or in uniform motion along a straight line. In other words, the body cannot change by itself its position of rest or of uniform motion.

Experiments 2 :

(c) Inertia Depends upon Mass :

When a ball is released on the inner surface of a smooth hemisphere, it will move to the other side and reach the same height before coming to rest momentarily. f the hemisphere is replaced by a surface shown in figure(b) in order to reach the same height the ball will have to move a larger distance.

We know that it is difficult to move a heavier body than the lighter one. Similarly it is difficult to stop a moving heavier body than a lighter body moving with the same velocity. Thus, we conclude that mass of the body is the measure of inertia, more the mass, more the inertia.

TYPES OF INERTIA There are three types of Inertia which are :

h

h (a)

(b)

(a) Inertia of Rest : The tendency of the body to oppose the change in its state of rest when some external unbalance force is applied on it, is called the inertia of rest. PAGE # 4

Example based on Inertia of rest : A person sitting in a bus falls backwards when the bus suddenly starts. The reason is that lower part of his body begins to move along with the bus but the upper part of his body tends to remain at rest due to inertia of rest.

(b) Inertia of Motion : The tendency of the body to oppose its state of motion when some unbalance forces are applied on it, is called the inertia of motion. Example based on Inertia of motion : A man carelessly getting down a moving bus falls forward, the reason being that his feet come to rest suddenly, whereas the upper part of his body retains the forward motion. Definition of force from first law of motion : According to first law of motion, if there is no force, there is no change in state of rest or of uniform motion. In other words, if a force is applied, it may change the state of rest or of uniform motion. If the force is not sufficient, it may not produce a change but only try to do so. Hence force is that which changes or tries to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body in straight line.

MOMENTUM Definition : Momentum of a particle may be defined as the quantity of motion possessed by it and it is measured by the product of mass of the particle and its velocity.

Momentum is a vector quantity and it is represented (c) Inertia of Direction :

The tendency of a body to oppose any change in its direction of motion is known as inertia of direction.

Example based on Inertia of direction :

Unit of momentum : Tie a stone to one end of a string and holding other end of the string in hand, rotate the stone in a horizontal circle. If during rotation, the string breaks at certain stage, the stone is found to fly off tangentially at that point of the circle.

(In C.G.S. system)  p = mv  gram × cm/s = dyne × s (In M.K.S. system)  p = mv  kg × m/s = Newton × s 3.

A ball of mass 100 gm. is moving with a velocity of 15 m/s. Calculate the momentum associated with the ball.

PAGE # 5

(c) Kilogram Force (kgf) :

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION

Kilogram force (kgf) or Kilogram weight (kg. wt.) is force with which a mass of 1 kg is attracted by the earth towards its centre. 1kgwt = 1kgf = 9.8 N

The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced forces i.e. Rate of change of momentum  Force applied

(d) Gram Force (gf) : Gram force or gram weight is the force with which a mass of 1 gram is attracted by the earth towards its centre. 1gwt = 1gf = 981 dyne

Let a body is moving with initial velocity u and after applying a force F on it, its velocity becomes v in time t. Initial momentum of the body p1 = mu Final momentum of the body p2 = mv Change in momentum in time t is mv – mu So rate of change of momentum =

F

m( v – u) t

Here,

or

Abou both the units are called gravitational unit of force.

We know : 1 N = 1kg × 1ms-2 or 1 N = 1000 g × 100 cms-2 or 1 N = 105 g cms-2 = 105 dyne  1 N = 105 dyne

mv – mu F t

v–u = a (acceleration) t

So Fma or F = kma (Here k is proportionality constant. If 1N force is applied on a body of mass 1 kg and the acceleration produced in the body is 1 m/s 2, then 1 = k × 1 × 1 or k = 1 Hence, F = ma So the magnitude of the resultant force acting on a body is equal to the product of mass of the body and the acceleration produced. Direction of the force is same as that of the acceleration.

4.

A force of 20N acting on a mass m1 produces an acceleration of 4 ms–2. The same force is applied on mass m2 then the acceleration produced is 0.5 ms–2. What acceleration would the same force produce, when both masses are tied together ?

Sol. For mass m1: F = 20N, a = 4 ms–2 then

m1 =

20 F = = 5 kg a 4

For mass m2 : F = 20N, a = 0.5 ms–2 then

m2 =

F 20 = = 40 kg a 0 .5

When m1 and m2 are tied together : Total mass = m1 + m2 = 45 kg, F = 20N

UNITS OF FORCE

then

a=

20 F = = 0.44 ms–2 45 (m1  m 2 )

(a) In C.G.S. System :

 F = ma  gm × cm/s2 = Dyne IMPULSE OF FORCE Definition of one dyne : If m = 1 gm, a = 1 cm/s2, then F = 1 dyne. When a force is applied on a body of mass 1 gram and the acceleration produced in the body is 1 cm/s2, then the force acting on the body will be one dyne. (b) In S.I. System :

A large force acting for a short time to produce a finite change in momentum is called impulsive force. The product of force and time is called impulse of force. i.e., Impulse = Force × Time or

I = Ft

F = ma  kg × m/s = Newton

The S.I. unit of impulse is Newton-second (N-s) and the C.G.S unit is dyne- second (dyne-s)

Definition of one Newton :

Impulse and Momentum :

2

If m = 1 kg and a = 1 m/s2 then by, F = ma F = 1 × 1 = 1 kg × m/s2 = 1 N. If a force is applied on a body of mass 1 kg and acceleration produced in the body is 1 m/s2, then the force acting on the body will be one Newton.

From Newton’s second law of motion Force, F =

p 2  p1 t

or Ft = p2 – p1

i.e., Impulse = Change in momentum This relation is called impulse equation or momentumimpulse theorem. It has an important application in our everyday life. PAGE # 6

IMPULSE DURING AN IMPACT OR COLLISION

ANY PAIR OF EQUAL AND OPPOSITE FORCES IS NOT AN ACTION–REACTION PAIR

The impulsive force acting on the body produces a change in momentum of the body on which it acts. We know, Ft = mv – mu, therefore the maximum force needed to produce a given impulse depends upon time. If time is short, the force required in a given impulse or the change in momentum is large and viceversa.

Consider a book kept on a table. We have seen that the table pushes the book in the upward direction. Then why does not the book fly up? It does not fly up because there is another force on the book pulling it down. This is the force exerted by the earth on the book, which we call the weight of the book. So, there are two forces on the book– the normal force, N acting upwards, applied by the table and the force, W acting downwards, applied by the earth. As the book does not accelerate, we conclude that these two forces are balanced. In other words, they have equal magnitudes but opposite directions.

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW (a) Statement : The law states that “ To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction“. Moreover, action and reaction act on different bodies. (b) Demonstration :

N

Two similar spring balances A and B joined by hook as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring balance B is attached to a hook rigidly fixed in a rigid wall.

N=W V

V

V

Can we call N the action and W the reaction ? We cannot. This is because, although they are equal and opposite, they are not forces applied by two bodies on each other. The force N is applied by the table on the book, its reaction will be the force applied by the book on the table. Weight W is the force applied by the earth on the book, its reaction will be the force applied by the book on the earth. So, although N and W are equal and opposite, they do not form an action–reaction pair.

Demonstration- Newton’s third law of motion The other end of the spring balance A is pulled out to the left. Both balances show the same reading (20 N) for the force. The pulled balance A exerts a force of 20N on the balance B. It acts as action, B pulls the balance A in opposite direction with a force of 20 N. This force is known as reaction. We conclude that action-reaction forces are equal and opposite and act on two different bodies.

PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM

NO ACTION IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT REACTION

By Newton’s second law, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the applied force.

Examples :

Change in momentum = Force time

(i) A nail cannot be fixed on a suspended wooden ball.

Change in momentum = F × t If F = 0 then,

(ii) A paper cannot be cut by scissors of single blade. (iii) A hanging piece of paper cannot be cut by blade.

Change in momentum = 0

(iv) Writing on a hanging page is impossible.

If the force applied on the body is zero then its momentum will be conserved, this law is also applicable on the system. If in a system the momentum of the objects present in the system are P1, P2, P3........... and external force on the system is zero, then– P1 + P2 + P3 +................. = Constant

(v) Hitting on a piece of sponge does not produce reaction. You do not enjoy hitting.

ACTION AND REACTION ARE NOT BALANCED Action and reaction, though equal and opposite are not balanced because they act on two different bodies. In case when they act on two different bodies forming a single system, they become balanced.



NOTE : If only internal forces are acting on the system then its linear momentum will be conserved.

(a) The Law of Conservation of Momentum by Third Law of Motion :

Linear

Suppose A and B are two objects of masses m1 and m2 are moving in the same direction with velocity u1 and u2 respectively (u1 > u2). Object A collides with object B and after time t both move in their original direction with velocity v1 and v2 respectively. The change in momentum of object A = m1v1 – m1u1

Let the bullet and the gun have masses m and M respectively. Let the bullet move forward with velocity v and the gun recoils with velocity V. Then final momentum of the gun and bullet is MV + mv By the law of conservation of momentum– Initial momentum of the system = Final momentum of the system.

.............(2)

m2 v1 v2 after collision

By Newtons third law, F1 = –F2

the momentum of a rocket before it is fired is zero. When the rocket is fired, gases are produced. These gases come out of the rear of the rocket with high speed. The direction of the momentum of the gases coming out of the rocket is in the downward direction. Thus, to conserve the momentum of the system i.e., (rocket + gases), the rocket moves upward with a momentum equal to the momentum of the gases. So, the rocket continues to move upward as long as the gases are ejected out of the rocket. Thus a rocket works on the basis of the law of conservation of momentum.

So in equilibrium forces along x axis must balance each other and the same is true for other directions. If a body is in translatory equilibrium it will be either at rest or in uniform motion. If it is at rest, equilibrium is called static, otherwise dynamic. Static equilibrium can be divided into following three types :

When the trigger (T) is pressed, the bullet is fired due to internal force of explosion of powder in cartidge inside. The bullet moves forward with a high velocity and the gun move behind (recoils) with a lesser velocity.

(a) Stable equilibrium : If on slight displacement from equilibrium position a body has a tendency to regain its original position it is said to be in stable equilibrium. In case of stable equilibrium potential energy is minimum and so center of gravity is lowest. PAGE # 8

(c) Neutral equilibrium : If on slight displacement from equilibrium position a body has no tendency to come back to its original position or to move in the direction of displacement, it is said to be in neutral equilibrium.

CENTRE OF MASS (C.M.) It is the point inside or outside the body at which the whole mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated. If an external force applied on the centre of mass, it will produce the same motion in the body as if the body is a point mass.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY (C.G.) It is a point inside or outside the body at which the whole weight of the body is supposed to be acting. If an external force is applied on the centre of gravity, it will make the body move in the direction of the force just as a particle moves. 

STRUCTURE OF ATOM DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY

ELECTRON Electrons are the fundamental particles of all substances.

In 1808 John Dalton proposed atomic theory of matter, assuming atoms are ultimate indivisible particles of matter based on the law of conservation

(a) Cathode Rays - Discovery of Electron :

of mass and law of definite proportion.

The nature and existence of electron was established by experiments on conduction of electricity through gases.

The important points of Dalton’s theory are (i) Elements consist of small indivisible particles called atoms and atoms take part in chemical reactions. (ii) Atoms of same element are alike in all respect. (iii) Atoms of different elements are different in all respect. (iv) Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. (v) Atoms combine in a fixed, small, whole number to form compound atoms called molecules. 

Note : The term “ Element “ was coined by Lavoisier. (a) Merits : (i) Dalton’s theory explains the law of conservation of mass (point iv) and law of constant proportion (point v).



Note : In 1859, Julius Plucker started the study of conduction of electricity through gases at low pressure in a discharge tube. A number of interesting things happen when a high voltage (say, 10,000 V) is applied across the electrodes of the discharge tube, and the pressure of the gas inside the tube is lowered. (i) When the pressure of the gas in the discharge tube is at atmospheric pressure and a high voltage is applied across the electrodes, nothing noticeable happens. But as we lower the pressure and increase the voltage, sparking or irregular streaks of light are seen in the tube. This is called positive column. (ii) As the pressure of gas is reduced further, the length of the positive column reduces, a fine glow can be seen at the cathode. The dark space or gap left between the cathode and the positive column is called the Faraday’s dark space.

(ii) Atoms of elements take part in chemical reaction this is true till today. (b) Demerits : (i) The atom is no longer supposed to be indivisible. The atom is not a simple particle but a complex one. (ii) He could not explain that why do atoms of same element combined with each other. (iii) Atoms of the same element may not necessarily be identical in all aspects. There are a number of elements whose atoms possess different masses. All these atoms of the same element with same atomic number but different mass number are called isotopes. e.g. 1H1, 1H2, 1H3 are the three isotopes of hydrogen. (iv) Atoms of different elements may not necessarily be different in all aspects. There are a number of elements whose atoms possess same mass number. All these elements with different atomic number but same mass number are called isobars. e.g. 20Ca40 and 18Ar40 are isobars of each other.

(iii) They consist of negatively charged particles. When the cathode rays pass through an electric field, they bent towards the positive plate of the electric field. This indicates that cathode rays are negatively charged.

(iii) When the pressure of gas is reduced to about 1 mm of Hg, the cathode glow moves away from the cathode, creating a dark space between cathode and the cathode glow. This dark space is called Crookes dark space. (iv) The Crookes dark space expands with further fall in pressure at 0.1 mm of Hg. The positive column gets split into a number of bands called striations. (v) At pressure 0.01 mm of Hg or less, the striations move towards the anode and vanish finally. At this stage the glass tubes begins to glow at the end opposite to the cathode. This phenomenon is called fluorescence.

(iv) Cathode rays can affect the photographic plate.

Thus, some sort of invisible rays travel from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. Since the negative electrode is called cathode, these rays were called cathode rays. The colour of glow depends upon the nature of the glass used. For soda glass the

fluorescence is of yellowish green colour.

(b) Properties of cathode rays : (i) Cathode rays travel in a straight line at a high velocity and generate normally from the surface of the cathode. If an opaque object is placed in the path of cathode rays its shadow falls on opposite side of the cathode. It shows that cathode rays travel in straight lines. To vacuum pump

Note : Cathode rays travel with very high velocities ranging from 109 to 1011 cm per second.

Note : The negatively charged particles of cathode rays were called ‘negatrons‘ by Thomson. The name negatron was changed to ‘electron‘ by Stoney.

(ii) They are a beam of minute material particles having definite mass and velocity. When a light paddle wheel is placed in the path of the cathode rays, the blades of the paddle wheel begin to rotate. This also proves that cathode rays have mechanical energy.

(c) Characteristics of electron : (i) Electrons are sub - atomic particles which constitute cathode rays. (ii) In 1897, J.J.Thomson determined the charge to mass (e/m) ratio of electron by studying the deflections of cathode rays in electric and magnetic fields. The value of e/m has been found to be 1.7588 × 108 coulombs/g. The e/m for electrons from different gases was found to be the same. This indicates that atoms of all kinds have the same kind of negatively charged particles. Thus electrons are the common constituents of all atoms. 

Note : A cathode ray tube is used to measure the charge to mass ratio of the electrons.

(iii) Charge on the electron : The charge (e) on an electron was determined by Robert Millikan in 1909. Millikan found the charge on oil drops to be -1.6 × 10-19 C or its multiples. So, the charge on an electron is to be -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs / unit.

(iii) Anode rays are deflected by magnetic or electric field. In the electric field they get deflected towards negatively charged plate. This indicates that these rays are positively charged. (iv) The anode rays affect photographic plate.

Note : Anode rays are called canal rays because they pass through the canals or holes of the cathode. These rays are also called anode rays since they originate from the anode side. Anode rays are produced from a positively charged electrode, therefore these were

J.J.Thomson in 1906, found that particles obtained in the discharge tube containing hydrogen have e/m value as 9.579 × 10 4 coulomb/g. This was the maximum value of e/m observed for any positive particle. It was thus assumed that the positive particles given by hydrogen represent fundamental particle of positive charge. This particle was named proton.

mass of a hydrogen atom.

PROTON (a) Anode Rays (Canal rays) : It has been established that electron is a negatively charged particle and present in all the atoms. As an atom is electrically neutral, there must be some positively charged particles present in the atom to neutralize the negative charges of the electrons. It has been confirmed by experiments. Scientist Goldstein in 1886 discovered the existence of a new type of rays in the discharge tube. He carried out the experiment in discharge tube containing perforated cathode. It was observed that when high potential difference was applied between the electrodes, not only cathode rays were produced but also a new type of rays were produced simultaneously from anode, moving from anode towards cathode and passed through the holes of cathode.

(iii) Very few -particles underwent small and large deflections after passing through the gold foil. (iv) A very few (about 1 in 20,000) were deflected backward on their path at an angle of 180º.

Thus, the mass of a proton is 1837 times larger than the mass of an electron. (v) Charge to mass ratio for a proton : The e/m of particles constituting the anode rays is different for different gases.

1.602  10 19 e of proton = = 9.579 × 104 C/g 1.673  10  24 m THOMSON MODEL OF AN ATOM J.J. Thomson (1898) tried to explain the structure of atom. He proposed that an atom consists of a sphere of positive electricity in which electrons are embedded like plum in pudding or seeds evenly distributed in red spongy mass in case of a watermelon. The radius of the sphere is of the order 10–8 cm.

Rutherford was able to explain these observations as follows: (i) Since a large number of -particles pass through the atom undeflected, hence, there must be large empty space within the atom. (ii) As some of the -particles got deflected, therefore, there must be something massive and positively charged structure present in the atom. (iii) The number of -particles which get deflected is very small, therefore, the whole positive charge in the atom is concentrated in a very small space.

(a) Merits : (i) Thomson’s model could explain the electrical neutrality of an atom.

(iv) Some of the -particles retracted their path i.e. came almost straight back towards the sources as a result of their direct collisions with the heavy mass.

(ii) Thomson’s model could explain why only negatively charged particles are emitted when a metal is heated as he considered the positive charge to be immovable by assuming it to be spread over the total volume of the atom. (iii) He could explain the formation of ions and ionic compounds. (b) Demerits : This model could not satisfy the facts proposed by Rutherford through his alpha particle scattering experiment and hence was discarded.

RUTHERFORD MODEL OF AN ATOM  (a) Rutherford’s Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment (1909) : Ernest Rutherford and his coworkers performed numerous experiments in which - particles emitted from a radioactive element such as polonium were allowed to strike thin sheets of metals such as gold or platinum. (i) A beam of -particles (He2+) was obtained by placing polonium in a lead box and letting the alpha particles come out of a pinhole in the lead box. This beam of rays was directed against a thin gold foil (0.0004 cm). A circular screen coated with zinc sulphide was placed on the other side of the foil.

Note :  - particles are made up of two protons and two neutrons and are Helium (He) nuclei. (b) Rutherford Nuclear Model of Atom (1911) : Rutherford proposed a new picture of the structure of atom. Main features of this model are as follows(i) The atom of an element consists of a small positively charged “Nucleus” which is situated at the centre of the atom and which carries almost the entire mass of the atom. (ii) The electrons are distributed in the empty space of the atom around the nucleus in different concentric circular paths (orbits).

15 15

PAGE # 15

(iii) The number of electrons in the orbits is equal to the number of positive charges (protons) in the nucleus.

When the electron moves from inner to outer orbit by absorbing definite amount of energy, the new state of the electron is said to be excited state.

(iv) Volume of nucleus is very small as compared to the volume of atom.

(v) Negatively charged electrons revolves around the nucleus in circular path. The force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron is equal to centrifugal force of the moving electron. Force of attraction towards nucleus = Centrifugal force

(v) Most of the space in the atom is empty. 

Note : Rutherford’s model is also called “Planetary model’.

(vi) Out of infinite number of possible circular orbits around the nucleus, the electron can revolve only in those orbits whose angular momentum is an integral

(c) Defects in Rutherford’s Model : (i) Rutherford did not specify the number of electrons in each orbit.

multiple of

(ii) According to electromagnetic theory, if a charged particle (like electron) is accelerated around another charged particle (like protons in nucleus) then there would be continuous loss of energy due to continuous emission of radiations. This loss of energy would slow down the speed of electron and eventually the electron would fall into the nucleus. But such a collapse does not occur. Rutherford’s model could not explain this theory. (iii) If the electron loses energy continuously, the observed spectrum should be continuous but the actual observed spectrum consists of well defined lines of definite frequencies. Hence the loss of energy is not continuous in an atom.

where : m = mass of the electron v = velocity of electron r = radius of the orbit, and n =1,2,3 ---- number of the orbit. The angular momentum can have values such as

h 2h 3h , , , but it cannot have a fractional value. 2 2 2 Thus, the angular momentum is quantized. The specified circular orbits (quantized) are called stationary orbits.

RADII OF VARIOUS ORBITS Radii of various orbits can be given by formula.

BOHR MODEL OF AN ATOM (1913) To overcome the objections to Rutherford’s model and to explain the hydrogen spectrum, Bohr proposed a quantum mechanical model of the atom. The important postulates on which Bohr’s model is based are the following (i) The atom has a nucleus where all the protons are present. The size of the nucleus is very small. It is present at the centre of the atom. (ii) Each stationary orbit is associated with a definite amount of energy. The greater is distance of the orbit from the nucleus, more shall be the energy associated with it. These orbits are also called energy levels and are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4 ------or K, L, M, N ---- from nucleus to outwards. (iii) By the time, the electron remains in any one of the allowed stationary orbits, it does not lose energy. Such a state is called ground or normal state. (iv) The emission or absorption of energy in the form of radiation can only occur when an electron jumps from one stationary orbit to another. E = Efinal - Einitial = h Where h is Planck’s constant (h = 6.625 × 10–34 Js) Energy is absorbed when the electron jumps from lower to higher orbit and is emitted when it moves from higher to lower orbit.

The negative sign indicates that the electron is under attraction towards nucleus, i.e. it is bound to the nucleus. The electron has minimum energy in the first orbit and its energy increases as n increases, i.e., it becomes less negative. The electron can have a maximum energy value of zero when n =  . The zero energy means that the electron is no longer bound to the nucleus , i.e. , it is not under the force of attraction towards nucleus.

PARTNERSHIP Partnership : When two or more than two persons run a business jointly, they are called partners and the deal is known as partnership. Ratio of Division of Gains : (i) When investments of all the partners are for the same time, the gain or loss is distributed among the partners in the ratio of their investments. 

Suppose A and B invest Rs.x and Rs.y respectively for a year in a business, then at the end of the year : (A’s share of profit) : (B’s share of profit) = x : y. (ii) When investments are for different time periods, then equivalent capitals are calculated for a unit of time by taking (capital × number of units of time). Now, gain or loss is divided in the ratio of these capitals.



Suppose A invests Rs.x for t1 months and B invests Rs.y for t2 months, then A ' s share in profit B' s share in profit = A' s amount  A' s time of investing of money B' s amount  B' s time of investing of money

CONTROL AND COORDINATION PLANT HORMONES/PHYTOHORMONES Living organisms respond and react to their external environment. Plants do not have any special structure for perception of stimuli. In plants control and coordination is performed by chemical substances known as plant hormones or phytohormone. Phytohormones are of five types namely Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic Acid (ABA) and Ethylene. (a) Auxin :

• • • • •

Indole acetic acid is the principal naturally occurring auxin found in all plants including fungi. Auxin initiate as well as promote cell division, cell elongation, root formation. Causes apical dominance and prevents abscission layer. Initiation of flowering. Synthetic auxins are resistant to oxidation by enzymes some are widely used to regulate various aspects of plant development. They are more effective & have greater stability than indole acetic acid (I.A.A). e.g. 2, 4 - D (b) Gibberellins :

• • • •

Significant elongation of internodes. Leaf expansion • Reversal of dwarfism Breaking dormancy • Parthenocarpy Flowering (c) Cytokinin :

• • • •

Promote cell division Counteraction of apical dominance Delay of senescence Delay of senescence - Disappearance of chlorophyll and degradation of proteins are two important symptoms of senescence. Cytokinins delay these processes & thus the senescence is also delayed. This effect of cytokinins is known as Richmond - lang effect.

(d) Ethylene :

• • •

Promotes fruit growth and ripening Promotes seed germination Promotes abscission of leaves, flowers and fruits. (e) Abscissic Acid :

• • •

Promotes abscission, senescence, bud dormancy Growth inhibition ABA suppresses the growth promoting effects of gibberellins and hence is also known as antigibberellins.

PLANT MOVEMENTS Movement of plant towards the direction of stimulus is called tropism. Bending of plant towards light is called phototropism. Shoot of plants show positive phototropism. Downward movement is in response to gravitational force is called geotropism. Roots of plants shows positive geotropisms, stems show negative geotropism. Such movements in plants which are caused by external stimuli but are not directional are called nastic movements (such as in touch-me-not plant). - Mimosa pudica

PHOTOPERIODISM Flowering and germination of seeds in plants is controlled by duration of day light (photoperiod). This phenomenon is called photoperiodism. On the basis of length of photoperiod requirements of plants, they have been classified into. (i) Short day plants — Xanthium (ii) Long day plants — Spinach, Radish (iii) Day neutral plants — Cotton, sunflower Response of plants to photoperiodic stimulus is due to a specialized pigment phytochrome.

REFLEX ACTION AND REFLEX ARC You must have experienced a sudden withdrawl of a body part which comes in contact with objects that are extremely hot, cold, pointed or animals that are scary or poisonous. The entire process of response to a peripheral nervous stimulation, that occurs involuntarily, i.e., without conscious effort or thought and requires the involvement of a part of the central nervous system is called a reflex action.

Diagrammatic Presentation of Reflex Action (Showing Jerk Reflex)

PAGE # 43

Mammals show a wide range of reflexes which can be broadly classified into two types : unconditioned and conditioned reflexes. (a) Unconditioned reflexes : Even when the body has no past experience of a stimulus it still responds spontaneously and such responses or actions are called unconditioned reflexes. These are responses to a natural unconditioned stimulus. The examples of unconditioned reflexes are the blinking of an eye when a particle of dust touches the eyelids, excitement of the salivary glands after seeing the food, etc. Other reflex actions are shown in the Table. These reflexes are said to be unconditioned or inborn because they are a natural part of an animal’s make up. Another class of reflex produced by the previous experience of an animals is considered below. (b) Conditioned reflexes : When a reflex which does not naturally exist had becomes a part of the animal behaviour. Such a reflex is said to be conditioned. Conditioned reflex were first demonstrated by the Russian physiologist, Pavlov. The cerebrum controls the conditioned reflexes.

Response

Foreign in body on surface of eye. Food touches sensitive spot at back of pharynx. Foreign particle irritating lining of nose or larynx.

Eyelids close and eye "waters". Peristaltic waves pass down oesophagus. Chest muscles and diaphragm contract and relax violently to produce a gust of air. Sharp tap of tendon below knee-cap of Leg 'kicks' up. crossed leg.

Differences between Unconditioned and Conditioned Reflexes

Unconditioned reflexes 1. Unconditioned reflexes are inborn (hereditary). 2. Learning does not form the basis of unconditioned reflexes. 3. These are mainly protective in function. Examples : Breast feeding and swallowing in newly born babies, blinking of eyes, sneezing and coughing and knee-jerk, etc.

Conditioned reflexes 1. Conditioned reflexes are acquired after birth. 2. Learning forms the basis of conditioned reflexes. Examples : Withdrawal of limb when it is touched by hot things, typing, riding a bicycle, knitting, etc.

PRINT CULTURE AND THE MODERN WORLD THE FIRST PRINTED BOOKS The imperial state in China was, for a very long time, the major producer of printed material. China possessed a huge bureaucratic system which recruited its personnel through civil service examinations. Textbooks for this examination were printed in vast numbers under the sponsorship of the imperial state. From the sixteenth century, the number of examination candidates went up and that increased the volume of print. This new reading culture was accompanied by a new technology. W estern printing techniques and mechanical presses were imported in the late nineteenth century as Western powers established their outposts in China. Shanghai became the hub of the new print culture, catering to the Western-style schools. From hand printing there was now a gradual shift to mechanical printing.

the system. The first book he printed was the Bible. About 180 copies were printed and it took three years to produce them. By the standards of the time this was fast production. In the hundred years between 1450 and 1550, printing presses were set-up in most countries of Europe. Printers from Germany travelled to other countries, seeking work and helping start new presses. As the number of printing presses grew, book production boomed. The second half of the fifteenth century saw 20 million copies of printed books flooding the markets in Europe. The number went up in the sixteenth century to about 200 million copies.

THE PRINTING REVOLUTION AND ITS IMPACT (i)

Print in Japan: Printing of visual material led to interesting publishing practices. In the late eighteenth century, in the flourishing urban circles at Edo (later to be known as Tokyo), illustrated collections of paintings depicted an elegant urban culture, involving artists, courtesans, and teahouse gatherings. Libraries and bookstores were packed with hand-printed material of various types-books on women, musical instruments, calculations, tea ceremony, flower arrangements, proper etiquette, cooking and famous places.

But the transition was not so simple. Books could be read only be the literate and the rates of literacy in most European countries were very low till the twentieth century. How then, could publishers persuade the common people to welcome the printed book? To do this, they had to keep in mind the wider reach of the printed work: even those who did not read could certainly enjoy listening to books being read out. So printers began publishing popular ballads and folk tales, and such books would be profusely illustrated with pictures. These were then Bung and recited at gatherings in villages and in taverns in towns.

PRINT COMES TO EUROPE The Production of handwritten manuscripts could not satisfy the ever-increasing demand for books. Copying was an expensive, laborious and time-consuming business. Manuscripts were fragile, awkward to handle, and could not be carried around or read easily. Their circulation therefore remained limited. With the growing demand for books, wood block printing gradually became more and more popular. By the early fifteenth century; woodblocks were being widely used in Europe to print textiles, playing cards, and religious pictures with simple, brief texts. There was clearly a great need for even quicker and cheaper reproduction of texts. This could only be with the invention of a new print technology. The breakthrough occurred at 8trasbourg where Johann Gutenberg developed the first-known printing press in the 1430s. Gutenberg and the Printing Press: Gutenberg adapted existing technology to design his innovation. The olive press provided the model for the printing press and moulds were used for casting the metal types for the letters ofthe alphabet. By 1448, Gutenberg perfected

A New Reading Public: Access to books created a new culture of reading. Earlier, reading was restricted to the elites. Common people lived in a world of oral culture. They heard sacred texts read out, ballads recited, and folk tales narrated. Knowledge was transferred orally. People collectively heard a story or saw a performance. As you will see in Chapter 8, they did not read a book individually and silently. Before the age of print books were not only expensive but they could not be produced in sufficient numbers. Now books could reach out to wider sections of people. If earlier there was a hearing public, now a reading public came into being.

(ii)

Religions Debates and the Fear of Print : Print created the possibility of wide circulation of ideas and introduced a new world of debate and discussion. Even those who disagreed with established authorities could now print and circulate their ideas. Through the printed message, they could persuade people to think differently, and move them to action. This had significance in different spheres of life. In 1517, the religious reformer Martin Luther wrote Ninety Five Theses criticising many of the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church.

copy of this was pasted on a church door in Wittenberg. It challenged the Church to debate his ideas. Luther's writings were immediately reproduced in vast numbers and read widely. This lead to a division within the Church and to the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Luther's translation of the New Testament sold 5,000 copies within a few weeks and a second edition appeared within three months. Deeply grateful to print, Luther said, 'Printing is the ultimate gift of God and the greatest one.' Several scholars, in fact, think that print brought about a new intellectual atmosphere and helped spread the new ideas that led to the Reformation. (iii) Print and Dissent : In the sixteenth century, Manocchio, a miller in Italy, began to read books that were available in his locality: he reinterpreted the message of the Bible and formulated a view of God and Creation that enraged the Roman Catholic Church. When the Roman Church began its inquisition to repress heretical ideas. Manocchio was hauled up twice and ultimately executed. The Roman Church, troubled by such effects of popular readings and questionings of faith, imposed severe cont over publishers and booksellers and began to maintain an Index rohibited Books from 1558.

THE READING MANIA The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries literacy rates went up in most parts of Europe. Churches of different denominations set up schools in villages, carrying literacy to peasants and artisans. By the end of the eighteenth century, in some parts of Europe literacy rates were is high as 60 to 80 per cent. As literacy and schools spread in European countries, there was a virtual reading mania. People wanted books to read and printers produced books ever increasing numbers.

Voltaire and Rousseau, they were also exposed to monarchical and Church propaganda. They were not influenced directly by everything they read or saw. They accepted some ideas and rejected oth~rs. They interpreted things their own way. Print did not directly shape their minds, but it did open up the possibility of thinking differently.

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY (i)

Children, Women and Workers : A children's press, devoted to literature for children alone, was set up in France in 1857. This press published new works as well as old fairy tales and folk tales. The Grimm Brothers in Germany spent years compiling traditional folk tales gathered from peasants. What they collected was edited before the stories were published in a collection in 1812. Anything that was considered unsuitable for children or would appear vulgar to the elites, was not included in the published version. Rural folk tales thus acquired a new form. In this way; print recorded old tales but also changed them. When novels began to be written in the nineteenth century, women were seen as important readers. Some of the best-known novelists were women: Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, George Eliot. Their writings became important in defining a new type of women: a person with will, strength of personality, determination and the power to think. In the nineteenth century, lending libraries in England became instruments for educating whitecollar workers, artisans and lower-middle-class people. Sometimes, self-educated working class people wrote for themselves. After the working day was gradually shortened from the mid-nineteenth century, workers had some time for selfimprovement and self-expression. They wrote political tracts and autobiographies in large numbers.

New forms of popular literature appeared in print, targeting new audiences. Bookseller employed padlars who roamed around villages, carrying little books for sale. There we almanacs or ritual calendars, along with ballads and folktale. But other forms of reading matter, largely for entertainment, began to reach ordinary readers as well. In England penny chapbooks were carried by petty pedlars known as chapmen, and sold for a penny, that even the poor could buy them. In France, were the 'Biliotheque Blue', which were low priced small books printed on poor quality paper and bound in cheap blue covers. Then the were the romances, printed on four to six pages and the more substantial 'histories' whi were stories about the past. Books were of various sizes, serving many different purpose an interests.

(ii) Further innovations : By the mid-nineteenth century, Richard M. Hoe of New York had perfected the power-driven cylindrical press. This was capable of printing 8,000 sheets per hour. This press was particularly useful for printing newspapers. In the late nineteenth century, the offset press was developed which could print up to six colours at a time. From the turn ofthe twentieth century, electrically operated presses accelerated printing operations. A series of other developments followed. Methods of feeding paper reels and photoelectric controls of the colour register were introduced. The accumulation of several individual mechanical improvements transformed the appearance of printed texts.

There can be no doubt that print helps the spread of ideas. But we must remember that people did not read just one kind of literature. If they read the ideas of

Nineteenth century periodicals serialised important novels, which gave birth to a particular way of writing novels. In the 1920s in England, popular works were sold in cheap series, called PAGE # 47

the Shilling Series. The dust cover or the book jacket is also a twentieth century innovation. With the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s, publishers feared a decline in book purchases. To sustain buying, they brought out cheap paperback editions.

INDIA AND THE WORLD OF PRINT (i)

Manuscripts before the Age of Print : India had a very rich and old tradition of handwritten manuscripts-in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, as well as in various vernacular languages. Manuscripts were copied on palm leaves or on handmade paper. Pages were sometimes beautifully illustrated. They would be either pressed between wooden covers or sewn together to ensure preservation. Manuscripts continued to be produced till well after the introduction of print, down to the late nineteenth century. Manuscripts were not widely used in everyday life. Even though pre-colonial. Bengal had developed an extensive network of village primary schools, students very often did not read texts. They only learnt to write. Teachers dictated portions of texts from memory and students wrote them down. Many thus became literate without ever actually reading any kinds of texts.

(ii) Print Comes to India : The printing press first came to Goa with Portuguese missionaries in the midsixteenth century. Jesuit priests learnt Konkani and printed several tracts. By 1674, about 50 books had been printed in the Konkani and in Kanara languages. Catholic priests printed the first Tamil book in 1579 at Cochin and in 1713 the first Malayalam book was printed by them. By 1710, Dutch Protestant missionaries had printed 32 Tamil texts, many of them translations of older works. The English language press did not grow in India till quite late even though the English East India Company began to import presses from the late seventeenth century. Governor-General Warren Hastings persecuted Hickey, and encouraged the publication of officially sanctioned newspapers that could counter the flow of information that damaged the image of the colonial government. By the close of the eighteenth century, a number of newspapers and journals appeared in print. There were Indians, too, who began to publish Indian newspapers. The first to appear was the weekly Bengal Gazatte, brought out by Gangadhar Bhattacharya, who was close to Rammohan Roy.

RELIGIOUS REFORMS AND PUBLIC DEBATES This was 'a time of intense controversies between social and religious reformers and the Hindu orthodoxy over matters like widow immolation, monotheism, Brahmanical priesthood and idolatry. In Bengal, as the debate developed, tracts and newspapers proliferated, circulating a variety of arguments. To reach a wider audience, the ideas were printed in the everyday, spoken language of ordinary people. Rammohan Roy published the Sam bad Kammaudi from 1821 and the Hindu orthodoxy commissioned the Samachar Chandrika to oppose his opinions. From 1822, two Persian newspapers were published. Jan-i-Jahan Nama and Shainsah Akhbar. In the same year, a Gujarati newspaper, the Bombay Samachar; made its appearance. In north India the ulama were deeply anxious about the collapse of Muslim dynasties. They feared that colonial rulers would encourage conversion, change the Muslim personal laws. To counter this, they used cheap lithographic presses, published Persian and Urdu translations of holy scriptures, and printed religious newspapers and tracts. The Deoband Saminary, founded in 1867, published thousands upon thousands of fatwas telling Muslim readers how to conduct themselves in their everyday lives, and explaining the meanings of Islamic doctrines. All through the nineteenth century, a number of Muslim sects and seminaries appeared, each with a different interpretation of faith, each keen on enlarging its following and countering the influence of its oponents. Urdu print helped them conduct these battles in public. Religious texts, therefore, reached a very wide circle of people, encouraging discussions, debates and controversies within and among different religions. Print did not only stimulate the publication of conflicting opinions amongst communities, but it also connected communities and people in different parts of India. Newspapers conveyed news from one place to another creating pan-Indian identities.

NEW FORMS OF PUBLICATION Other new literary forms also entered the world of reading-lyrics, short stories, essays about social and political matters. In different ways, they reinforced the new emphasis on human livel;l and intimate feelings, about the political and social rules that shaped such things. By the end of the nineteenth century, a new visual culture was taking shape. With the setting up of an increasing number of printing presses, visual images could be easily reproduced in multiple copies. Painters like Raja Ravi Varma produced images for mass circulation. Poor wood engravers who made woodblocks set up shop near the letterpresses, and were employed by print shops. Cheap prints and calendars, easily available in the bazaar, could be bought even by the poor to PAGE # 48

decorate the walls of their homes or places of work. These prints began shaping popular ideas about modernity and tradition, religion and politics and society and culture. (i)

Women and Print : Lives and feelings of women began to be written in particularly vivid and intense ways. Women's reading, therefore, increased enormously in middle-class homes. Liberal husbands and fathers began educating their womenfolk at home, and sent them to schools when women's schools were set up in the cities and towns after the mid· nineteenth century. Many journals began carrying writings by women and explained why women should be educated. They also carried a syllabus and attached suitable reading matter which could be used for homebased schooling. Since social reforms and novels had already created a great interest in women's lives and emotions, there was also an interest in what women would have to say about their own lives. From the 1860s, few Bengali women like Kailashbashini Debi wrote books highlighting the experiences of women-about how women were optioned at home, kept in ignorance, forced to hard domestic about and treated unjustly by the very people they served. In the 1880s, in present-day Maharashtra, Tarabia Shinde and Pandita amabai wrote with passionate anger about the miserable lives upper-caste Hindu women, especially widows. In Punjab, too, a similar folk literature was widely printed from the early twentieth century. Ram Chaddha published the fast-selling Istri Dharm Vichar to teach wom~n how to be obedient wives. The Khalsa Tract Society published cheap booklets with a similar message. Many of these were in the form of dialogues about the qualities of a good woman.

(ii) Print and the poor people : From the late nineteenth century, issues of caste discrimination began to be written about in many printed tracts and essays Jyotiba Phule, the Maratha pioneer of 'low caste' protest movements, wrote about the injustices of the caste system in his Gulamgiri (1871). In the twentieth century. B.R. Ambedkar in Maharashtra and E,V. Ramaswamy Naicker in Madras, better known as Periyar, wrote powerfully on caste and their writings were read by people all over India. Local protest movements and sects also created a lot of popular journal and tracts criticising ancient scriptures and envisioning a new and just future. Workers in factories were too overworked and lacked the education to write much about their experiences. But Kashibaba, a Kanpur mill worker, wrote and published Chhote Aur Bade Ka Sawal in 1938 to show the links between caste

and class exploitation. The poems of another Kanpur mill worker, who wrote under the name of Sudarshan ,Chakr between 1935 and 1955, were brought together and published in a collection called Sachi Kavitayan. By the 1930s Bangalore cotton mill workers set up libraries to educate themselves, following the example of Bombay workers. These were sponsored by social reformers who tried to restrict excessive drinking among them, to bring literacy and sometimes to propagate the message of nationalism.

PRINT AND CENSORSHIP By the 1820s, the Calcutta Supreme Court passed certain regulations to control press freedom and the Company began encouraging publications of newspapers that would celebrate British rule. In 1835, faced with urgent petitions by editors of English and vernacular Dewspapers, Governor-General Bentinick agreed to revise press laws. Thomas Macaulay a liberal colonial official, formulated new rules that restored the earlier freedoms. After the revolt of 1857, the attitude to freedom of the press changed. Enraged Englishmen demanded a clamp down on the 'native' press. As vernacular newspapers became assertively nationlist, the colonial government began debating measures of stringent control. In 1878, the Vernacular Press Act was passed, modelled on the Irish Press Laws. It proviged the JOvernment with extensive rights to censor reports and editorial in the vernacular press. From now on the government kept regular track of the vernacular newspapers published in .different provinces. When a report was judged as seditious, the newspaper was warned, and if the warning was ignored, the press was liable to be seized and the printing machinery confiscated.

POWER SHARING Some of the elements of the Belgian model are–

BELGIUM AND SRI LANKA

(i)

(a) Ethnic composition of Belgium : A small country in Europe, It has borders with Netherlands, France and Germany. It has a population of a little over one crore. The ethnic composition of this small country is very complex. Of the country’s total population, 59 percent lives in the Flemish region and speaks Dutch language. Another 40 percent people live in the Wallonia region and speak French. Remaining 1 percent of the Belgians speak German. Problems– The minority French-speaking community was relatively rich and powerful. This led to tensions between the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities during the 1950s and 1960s. Brussels presented a special problem: The Dutch-speaking people constituted a majority in the country, but a minority in the capital.

(ii) Many powers of the central government have been given to state government of the two regions of the country. The state governments are not subordinate to the Central Government. (iii) Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation. (iv) Apart from the Central and the State Government, there is a third kind of government. This ‘community government’

IS POWER SHARING DESIRABLE ? (a) Prudential Reason : Power sharing is good because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of political order.

(b) Ethnic composition of Sri Lanka : The major social groups are the Sinhalaspeakers (74 percent) and the Tamil-speakers (18 percent). Among Tamils there are two subgroups. Tamil natives of the country are called ‘Sri Lankan Tamils’ (13 percent). The rest, are called ‘Indian Tamils’.There are about 7 percent Christians, who are both Tamil and Sinhala.

MAJORITARIANISM IN SRI LANKA Majoritarian measures to establish Sinhala supremacy : In 1956, an Act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil.A new constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism. Outcomes/Problems that emerged : Majoritarianism has increased the feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils. They felt that the constitution and government policies denied them equal political rights, discriminated against them in getting jobs and other opportunities and ignored their interests. By 1980s several political organisation were formed demanding an independent Tamil Eelam (state) in northern and eastern parts of Sri Lanka.

ACCOMMODATION IN BELGIUM Between 1970 and 1993, they amended their constitution four times so as to work out an arrangement that would enable everyone to live together

Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the central government.

(b) Moral Reasons : Power sharing is the very spirit of democracy. A democratic rule involves sharing power with those affected by its exercise, and who have to live with its effects. People have a right to be consulted on how they are to be governed.

POWER SHARING Forms of Power Sharing :

Power sharing Among different organs of government

Among different social groups

Among Governments at different levels

(i)

Political Parties pressure groups and movements

Power is shared among different organs of government such as the legislature, executive and judiciary. Is also termed as horizontal distribution of power because it allows different organs of government placed at the same level.

(ii) Power can be shared among governments at different levels – A general government for the entire country and governments at the provincial or regional level. Such a general government for the entire country is usually called federal government. PAGE # 54

(iii) Power can be shared among different social groups, such as the religious and linguistic groups. In some countries there are constitutional and legal arrangements whereby socially weaker sections and women are represented in the legislatures and administration. (iv) Power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups and movements control or influence those in power.

1.

The power sharing arrangement among different organs of the government is (A) horizontal. (B) vertical. (C) multiple. (D) indirect.

2.

An important principle under which the three organs of the government work, is (A) each organ can work freely. (B) balance of power. (C) power-management. (D) easy administration.

WATER RESOURCES Freshwater is mainly obtained from surface run off and ground water that is continually being renewed and recharged through the hydrological cycle. All water moves within the hydrological cycle ensuring that water is a renewable resource.

WATER SCARCITY Water scarcity is a situation wherein adequate water is not available to meet its requirement in different uses. Broadly speaking, water scarcity may be caused by (i) over-exploitation, (ii) excessive use, and (iii) unequal access to water among different social groups. Another situation when water is sufficiently available to meet the needs of the people, but, the areas still suffers from water scarcity, due to bad quality of water. Increasing population a cause of water scarcity (i)

Greater demands of water, and unequal access to it.

(ii) Water resources are being overexploited to expand irrigated areas and dry-season agriculture.

(iv) Generates electricity. (v) Provides inland navigation. (vi) Provides facilities for recreation. (vii) Preservation of wildlife, forests and development of fisheries. Negative features of Multi-purpose River Valley project : (i)

Affect river’s natural flow causing poor sediment flow and excessive sedimentation at the bottom of the reservoir, resulting in rockier stream beds and poorer habitats for the rivers’ aquatic life.

(ii) Makes it difficult for aquatic fauna to migrate, especially for spawning. Also submerge’s the existing vegetation and soil. (iii) Large-scale displacement of local communities. (iv) Has changed the cropping pattern of many regions. (v) Ecological consequences like salinisation of the soil .

(iii) Leads to falling groundwater levels, adversely affecting water availability and food security of the people.

(vi) Has transformed the social landscape i.e. increasing the social gap, creates conflicts between people wanting different uses and benefits from the same water resources.

Urbanisation and Industrialisation adversely affect the availability of water -

(vii) Inter-state water disputes are also becoming common.

(i)

(viii) Failure to achieve the purposes for which they were built. Ironically, mostly been unsuccessful in controlling floods at the time of excessive rainfall.

Industry itself is a heavy user of water, in its different processes.

(ii) Industry requires power to run machinery and equipment. Power is generated from water. (iii) Multiplying urban centres with large and dense populations and urban lifestyles add to water and energy requirements. (iv) Growing water requirements are met by pumping underground water, it results in decline in the level of underground water. MULTI-PURPOSE RIVER PROJECTS AND INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Dams were traditionally built to impound rivers and rainwater that could be used later to irrigate agricultural fields. Multi-Purpose River Projects - A dam or a series of dam are built on a river and its tributaries to solve various purposes. (i) Control on flood and drought. (ii) Checks soil erosion. (iii) Provides water for irrigation, drinking and industrial purposes.

(ix) Sedimentation also meant that the flood plains were deprived of silt. (x) The multi-purpose projects induced earthquakes, caused water borne diseases and pests and pollution resulting from excessive use of water.

RAINWATER HARVESTING In ancient India, there existed an extraordinary tradition of water-harvesting system. (i)

‘Guls’ & ‘kuls’ of the Western Himalayas for agriculture.

(ii) Roof top rainwater harvesting was commonly practised to store drinking water particularly in Rajasthan. (iii) In the flood plains of Bengal, people developed inundation channels to irrigate their fields. (iv) ‘Khadins’ in Jaisalmer and ‘Johads’ in other parts of Rajasthan. Rainwater Harvesting in semi-arid regions of Rajasthan - In the semi-arid and arid regions of PAGE # 59

(D) Falling ground water level.

Rajasthan, particularly in Bikaner, Phalodi and Barmer, almost all the houses traditionally had underground tanks or tankas for storing drinking water. The rainwater can be stored in tankas till the next rainfall making it an extremely reliable source of drinking water when all other sources are dried up. In Gendathur, a remote backward village in Mysore, Karnataka, villagers have installed, in their household’s rooftop, rainwater harvesting system to meet their water needs. Gendathur receives an annual precipitation of 1000 mm, and with 80 per cent of collection efficiency and of about 10 fillings, every house can collect and use about 50000 litres of water annually.

GLOBALISATION AND THE INDIAN ECONOMY PRODUCTION ACROSS COUNTRIES Multinational Corporations - A company that owns or controls production in more than one nation. The goods and services are produced globally. Production is organized in increasingly complex ways.

INTERLINKING PRODUCTION ACROSS COUNTRIES MNCs set up production where it is close to the markets; where there is skilled and unskilled labour available at low costs; and where the availability is assured. MNCs might look for government policies that look after their interests. Ways in which the MNCs spread their production across the globe (i)

Joint production with local companies

(ii) Buy up local companies (iii) Place orders for production with small producers

Liberalisation of foreign trade and foreign investment policy Trade Barrier - Restrictions on export and import. Governments can use trade barrier to increase or decrease foreign trade and to decide what kinds of goods and how much of each should come into the country. After independence, the Indian government had put barriers to protect the Indian producers from international competition. Starting around 1991, the government decided that the time had come for Indian producers to compete with producers around the globe. Thus barriers on foreign trade and foreign investment were removed to a large extent. Removing barriers or restrictions set by the government is what is known as liberalisation.

WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION A group of 149 countries (2006), this organisation say that all the barriers to foreign trade and investment are harmful. There should be no barriers. Trade between countries should be free. All countries in the world should liberalise their policies.

FOREIGN TRADE AND INTEGRATION OF MARKETS

Foreign trade creates an opportunity for the

(i) Producers to reach beyond the domestic markets (ii) For buyers, expanding the choice of goods beyond what is domestically produced (iii) Prices of similar goods in the two markets tend to become equal. Producers in two countries closely compete against each other even though they are separated by thousands of miles. WHAT IS GLOBALISATION ? Globalisation is the process of rapid integration or interconnection between countries.

IMPACT OF GLOBALISATION IN INDIA Positive Impacts

(i) MNCs have increased their investments in India, new jobs have been created. Local companies supplying raw materials, etc. to these industries have prospered. (ii) Several of the top Indian companies have been able to benefit from the increased competition. (iii) Globalisation has enabled some large Indian companies to emerge as multinationals themselves. (iv) Created new opportunities for companies providing services, particularly those involving IT.

More and more goods and services, investments and technology are moving between countries.

Negative Impacts

People usually move from one country to another in search of better income, better jobs or better education.

For a large number of small producers and workers globalisation has posed major challenges. Small manufacturers have been hit hard due to competition. Several of the units have shut down rendering many workers jobless.

Factors That Have Enabled Globalisation (i) Rapid improvement in technology has been one major factor that has stimulated the globalization process. (ii) Even more remarkable have been the developments in information and communication technology.

(i)

Small producers : Compete or perish:

(ii) Competition and uncertain employment: Globalisation and the pressure of competition have substantially changed the lives of workers. Faced with growing competition, most employers these days prefer to employ workers ‘felxibly’. This means that workers jobs are no longer secure. Workers also have to put in very long working hours and work night shifts PAGE # 61

THE STRUGGLE FOR A FAIR GLOBALISATION Not everyone has benefited from globalisation. People with education, skill and wealth have made the best use of the new opportunities. On the other hand, there are many people who have not shared the benefits. Steps that can be taken by the Government to ensure a fair globalisation :

(i) Policies to protect the interests of all the people in the country. (ii) Proper implementation of labour laws. (iii) Support to small producers, use of trade and investment barriers. (iv) Negotiation at the WTO for ‘fairer rules’.

CIR, GMV, KQZ, OUD, ? (A) RYH (B) SYH (C) SZI (D) SYI (B) There is a continuous difference of 4 letters between the first letter of each group, second letter of each group and third letter of each group. So the missing term would be SYH. ZSD, YTC, XUB, WVA, ? (A) VWZ (B) UVW (C) VXY (D) UWZ (A) The first letter of each group is in continuation in backward direction. The second letter of each group is in continuation in forward direction. The third letter of each group is in continuation in backward direction. Therefore, the missing term would be VWZ.

KTE, SBM, AJU, IRC, ? (A) OZL (B) QYZ (C) QZL (D) QZK (D) First letter of each group differ by 8 letters. Second letter of each group differ by 8 letters. Third letter of each group differ by 8 letters. Therefore, the missing term would be QZK.

DOU, EPV, FQW, GRX, HTY, ITZ (A) EPV (B) FQW (C) GRX (D) HTY (D) In every term first, second and third letter is in alphabetical order to its next term respectively. Fourth term is not following the same rule. Hence, HTY is the wrong term and should be replaced by HSY. ABC, DGJ, HMR, NTA, SBK, ZKV (A) DGJ (B) HMR (C) NTA (D) SBK (C) First letter of first, second, third,.........terms is moved three, four, five, ........steps forward respectively. Similarly, second letter is moved five, six, seven,......steps forward respectively and third letter is moved seven, eight, nine,........steps forward respectively. Hence, NTA is the wrong term and should be replaced by MTA.

Alpha-Numeric Series A series in which both alphabets and number are used. Direction : (10) Find the missing term : Ex 10.

Sol.

F3X, H7U, J15R, L31O, ? (A) M46L (B) N44L (C) N63L (D) N44M (C) The first letter of each term is moved two steps forward and the last letter is moved three steps backward to obtain the corresponding letters of the next term. The numbers form the sequence 3 × 2 + 1 = 7, 7 × 2 + 1 = 15, 15 × 2 + 1 = 31, 31 × 2 + 1 = 63. So, the missing term would be N63L.
