Sources Of Energy 

CBSE Class 10 - Science - Chapter 14 - Sources Of Energy - Study Points (#eduvictors)(#cbsenotes)

Study Points

Energy:  
Whenever a body is capable of doing work, the body is said to possess energy. Thus energy is defined as the ability of a body to do work and the amount of energy possessed by a body is equal to the amount of work it can do when its energy is released.

Energy comes in different forms and one form can be converted to another. For example, if we drop a plate from a height, the potential energy of the plate is converted mostly to sound energy when it hits the ground.

A good source of energy should be:

i) Safe and convenient to use, e.g., nuclear energy can be used only by highly trained engineers with the help of nuclear power plants. It cannot be used for our household purposed.

ii) Easy to transport, e.g., coal, petrol, diesel, LPG etc. Have to be transported from the places of their production to the consumers.

iii) Easy to store, e.g., huge storage tanks are required to store petrol, diesel, LPG etc.

Chapter 6: Combustion and Flame

Class 8 - Science - Combustion and Flame - Study Points  (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Combustion: The process of burning a substance in the presence of air (oxygen) and undergoes a chemical reaction to produce heat and light.

The substances which burn in the air are called combustible.

Oxygen (in air) is essential for combustion.

During the process of combustion, heat and light are given out.

Ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which a combustible substance catches fire.

Types of combustion: The type of combustion differs depending on the type of fuel. Based on nature and intensity, combustions are classified into three types. They are:
        (i) Rapid combustion
        (ii) Spontaneous combustion
        (iii) Explosion

The calorific value of a fuel is expressed in kilojoules per kilogram (kJ/kg).

Very Short Answer Type Questions


Q1: Name the most commonly used input device.

Answer: Keyboard is the most commonly used input device, which can also be used to type commands directing the computer to perform certain actions.


Q2: Explain the main advantage and disadvantage of an OCR?

Answer: The main advantage of an OCR is the ability to scan the characters accurately. The disadvantage of an OCR is the limited number of characters offered by it.


Q3: Why do we use a webcam?

Answer: A webcam is basically used for capturing a series of digital images that are transferred by the computer to a server and then displayed to the hosting page.


Q4: Name the memory (Primary/Secondary)with the following features:

  • If the current is interrupted, data is lost.
  • Before a program is ready to run, the program is loaded into this memory, which allows the CPU to directly access the program.

(Key Points)

CBSE Class 8 - Mathematics - Chapter 1 - Integers (Key Points) (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Integers are a bigger collection of numbers which is formed by whole numbers and their negatives.

You have studied in the earlier class,  about the representation of integers on the number line and their addition and subtraction.

We now study the properties satisfied by addition and subtraction.
(a) Integers are closed for addition and subtraction both. That is, a + b and a – b are again integers, where a and b are any integers.

(b) Addition is commutative for integers, i.e., a + b = b + a for all integers a and b.

(c) Addition is associative for integers, i.e., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) for all integers a, b and c.

(d) Integer 0 is the identity under addition. That is, a + 0 = 0 + a = a  for every integer a.

We studied, how integers could be multiplied and found that product of a  positive and a negative integer is a negative integer, whereas the product of two negative integers is a positive integer. For example, – 2 × 7 = – 14 and – 3 × – 8 = 24.

Product of even number of negative integers is positive, whereas the product of an odd number of negative integers is negative.

The Portrait of Lady

By Khushwant Singh
Class 11 - English - Hornbill  The Portrait of Lady  By Khushwant Singh   - Chapter Summary and Q and A (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Chapter Summary

The Portrait of a Lady' is written in the first person and is in the biographical mode. In this story, the writer gives a detailed account of his Grandmother with whom he had a long association. Khushwant Singh recalls his Grandmother as short, fat and slightly bent. Her silver hair was scattered untidily on her wrinkled face. She hobbled around the house in white clothes with one hand resting on her waist and the other telling the beads of her rosary. Khushwant Singh remembers her as not very pretty but always beautiful. He compares her serene face to that of a winter landscape.

During their long stay in the village, Grandmother woke him up in the morning, plastered his wooden slate, prepared his breakfast, and escorted him to school. While he studied alphabets, she read the scriptures in the temple attached to the school. On their way back home she fed stale chapattis to stray dogs.

CBSE Class 8 Mathematics Revision Notes Chapter - 05 Data Handling (#eduvictors)(#cbsenotes)


Data Handling: Deals with the process of collecting data, presenting it and getting result.

• Data mostly available to us in an unorganised form is called raw data.

• Grouped data can be presented using histogram. Histogram is a type of bar diagram, where the class intervals are shown on the horizontal axis and the heights of the bars show the frequency of the class interval. Also, there is no gap between the bars as there is no gap between the class intervals.

• In order to draw meaningful inferences from any data, we need to organise the data systematically.

• Frequency gives the number of times that a particular entry occurs.

• Raw data can be 'grouped' and presented systematically through 'grouped frequency distribution'.

Statistics: The science which deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.
