Important Scientific Laws

Avogadro's Law (Gases)

It states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and

pressure contain the same number of molecules regardless of their
chemical nature and physical properties. This number (Avogadro's
number) is 6.022 X 1023. It is the number of molecules of any gas present in
a volume of 22.41 litres and is the same for the lightest gas (hydrogen) as for
a heavy gas such as carbon dioxide or bromine.
Stated in 1811 by the Italian chemist Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1856)

Boyle's Law (Gases)

For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P

[pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one
doubles, the other halves). In other words product of the pressure and
volume is exactly a constant for an ideal gas.
Propounded by Robert Boyle, an Irish Chemist in 1662

Charles' Law (Gases)

It states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the

temperature of the gas, provided the amount of gas and pressure are
held constant.
It was first published by French natural philosopher Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
in 1802, giving credit to an unpublished work from the 1780s by Jacques
Charles. It is also known as Gay-Lussac Law.

Coulomb's Law (Electrostatics)

The magnitude of the Electrostatics force of interaction between two

point charges is directly proportional to the scalar multiplication of

the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of

the distances between them.
Published in 1783 by French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

The induced electromotive force (EMF) in any closed circuit is equal

to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.
Published by English Physicist Michael Faraday in 1831.

Hooke's Law of Elasticity

It states that, for relatively small deformations of an object, the

displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the
deforming force or load.
Discovered by the English scientist Robert Hooke in 1660.

Joule's Law (Electricity)

It states that, heat produced by an electric current is directly

proportional to the resistance of the conductor, the square of the
current, and the time for which it flows.
Given by the English physicist James Prescott Joule around 1850.

Kepler's three laws of planetary motion

1. The path of the planets about the sun is elliptical in shape, with the
center of the sun being located at one focus. (The Law of Ellipses)
2. An imaginary line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of the
planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (The Law of
Equal Areas)
3. The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the
ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. (The Law of
Harmonies)

Published by German astronomer Johannes Kepler between 1609 - 1619.

Lambert's Law (Luminous intensity)

https://everydayquiz.blogspot.com

It states that the luminous intensity of a perfectly diffusing surface in

any direction is proportional to the cosine of the angle between that
direction and the normal to the surface, for which reason the surface will
appear equally bright from all directions.
Published by Johann Heinrich Lambert, a Swiss physicist in 1760.

Lenz's Law (Electromagnetism)

It states that an induced electric current flows in a direction such that

the current opposes the change that induced it or in other words an
induced current is always in such a direction as to oppose the motion
or change causing it.
Deduced in 1834 by the Russian physicist Heinrich Friedrich Emil Lenz.

Newton's Law of motion

1. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state

of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
2. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting
upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force
acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is
increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the
object is decreased.
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Published by British physicist Sir Isaac Newton in 1687.

Ohm's Law (Electricity)

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is
directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points, and
inversely proportional to the resistance between them.
Published in 1827 by German physicist Georg Ohm.

It states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is
equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities in the two media, or equivalent to
the opposite ratio of the indices of refraction.
Named after Dutch astronomer Willebrord Snellius who rediscovered it in
1621.

sprinkler heads. Not suitable for delicate crops such as
lettuce.
3. Drip Irrigation: Water is conveyed under pressure
through a pipe system to the fields, where it drips slowly
onto the soil through emitters or drippers which are located
close to the plants. Suitable for all row crops but only high
value crops are irrigated this way because of cost involved.

Dr Rajendra Prasad later became the permanent chairman
of the constituent assembly.
On 13 December, 1946, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru moved
the Objectives Resolution which resolved to proclaim India
as an Independent Sovereign Republic and to draw up for
her future governance a Constitution.
The Constituent Assembly took almost three years (two
years, eleven months and seventeen days to be

Constitution for Independent India.
The Constituent Assembly held eleven sessions covering a
total of 165 days.
India is governed in terms of the Constitution, which was
adopted on 26 November, 1949, which was the last day of
the Eleventh session of the Constituent Assembly.
This date finds mention in the Preamble to the Indian
Constitution thus IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this
twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY
ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS
CONSTITUTION.
The honourable members appended their signatures to the
constitution on 24 January, 1950.
The Constitution of India came into force on 26 January,
1950. On that day, the Constituent Assembly ceased to
exist, transforming itself into the Provisional Parliament of

Facts to Remember on Rivers

Facts to Remember - Indian Rivers

The river system of India can be classified into four groups -

1. Himalayan rivers 2. Deccan (Peninsular) rivers 3. Coastal
rivers and 4. Rivers of inland water drainage.

Most of the Indian rivers flow into the Bay of Bengal but
some like Narmada, Tapti andPeriyar flow into the Arabian
Sea.

Luni, Machhu, Rupen, Saraswati, Banas and

Ghagghar are examples of rivers with inland water
drainage, i.e. they do not empty into the ocean but get lost
into the sand.

Five rivers of erstwhile Punjab are Sutlej, Ravi, Beas,

Jhelum and Chenab

The river also known as Dakshin Ganga is Godavari

The Brahmaputra is known as Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet

and as Dihang in Arunachal Pradesh. The Brahmaputra river
is known as Jomuna in Bangladesh.

The river known as Singi Khamban (Lion's mouth) in

Tibet River Indus

The river known as Bengal’s sorrow is River Damodar

Prayag or Allahabad is believed to be the confluence

(sangam) of these rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical
Saraswati

The Ganges is also known as the Bhagirathi since King

Bhagirath was responsible for bringing it from the heavens to
the earth. The Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda join at
Devprayag to form the Ganga. The part of the River Ganga
which flows into Bangladesh is known as Padma.

potential of pure water is assumed to be zero. Addition of solute (salts etc.)
lowers the water potential. For a plant growing in salt water, its water
potential must be lesser than that of salt water outside it

10^4 Ohm
C
There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same
electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than
women. Just like for the resistors used in electronics, the resistance of a
person's arm depends on the arm's length and diameter. Resistance goes
up with length and down with diameter. Since men tend to have thicker
arms and legs (more muscle), they usually have lower resistance. (An
implication of this is that .) A rough value for the internal resistance of the
human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. Naturally, the resistance also depends on
the path that electricity takes through the body - if the electricity goes in the
left hand and out the right foot, then the resistance will be much higher than
if it goes in and out of adjacent fingers.

Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat -
nerves and muscle have the least resistance. That said, the majority of the
body's resistance is in the skin - the dead, dry cells of the epidermis (the
skin's outer layer) are very poor conductors. Depending on the person, the
resistance of dry skin is usually between 1,000-100,000 Ohms. The skin's
resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered. This means that
when a person is electrocuted in real life, the body's resistance drops as the
skin is burned. To determine a person's total resistance, just add together
the resistance of each part of the body - remember that the electricity must
pass through the skin twice (on the way in and on the way out), so the total
resistance is:

Rtotal = Rskin(in) + Rinternal + Rskin(out)

Another interesting point to consider is that in addition to acting like a

resistor, the epidermis acts like a capacitor if placed in contact with a piece
of metal (the underlying tissue is like one plate of a capacitor and the metal
surface is like the other plate - the dry epidermis is the less-conductive
material or "dielectric" in between) . In cases of electrocution by a DC
voltage source, this capacitive property has little importance. But if the
electrocution is by an AC source, the epidermis's natural resistance is
"shorted out", allowing the current to bypass that part of the body's
resistance and making the body's total resistance much lower.

A jug is filled to the brim with water at 0°C. A piece of ice floats in it.
The moment the ice melts,
water level decrease
water level is unchanged
water spills out of the jug
water level increases
B
The water level remains the same when the ice cube melts. A floating object
displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. As long as objects are
floating (i.e. they don’t rest on the bottom) they displace enough water to
support their mass. Since by turning from solid to liquid, the mass of water
does not change, it will keep displacing the same amount of water. However,
note that this may not apply to everything. If you had solid alcohol floating
in water, when it melts, the level would drop, because water and alcohol mix
at the molecular level; i.e. water filling spaces among alcohol molecules
