  A abampere (aA) The unit of electric current in the CGSeniu system, defined as that current that, if flowing through two parallel conductors of negligible cross section and infinite length, placed 1 cm apart in vacuo, would produce on each conductor a force of 1 dyne per centimeter of length. 1 abampere = 1 abcoulomb/s = r statampere (where c = speed of light in cm/s) = 10 ampere. aberration Imperfect image formation due to geometric imperfections in the optical elements of a system ablation 1 . The wasting of glacier ice by any process (calving, melting, evaporation, etc.). 2. The shedding of molten material from the outer sur- face of a meteorite or tektite during its flight through the atmosphere. absolute age The age of a natural substance, of a fossil or living organism, or of an artifact, obtained by means of an absolute dating method.

Structure of Atom class9 CHEMISTRY MCQ & SAQ

  Structure of Atom class9 CHEMISTRY MCQ & SAQ Structure of Atom class9 CHEMISTRY NCERT SOLUTION: 1. What are canal rays?   Answer   Canal rays are positively charged radiations that can pass through a perforated cathode plate. These rays consist of positively charged particles known as protons.   2. If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not?   Answer   An electron is a negatively charged particle, whereas a proton is a positively charged particle. The magnitude of their charges is equal. Therefore, an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge. Thus, it will be a neutral atom.   Page No: 49   1. On the basis of Thomson's model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.   Answer   As per Thomson’s model of the atom, an atom consists of both negative and positive charges which are equal in number and magnitude. So, they balance each other as a result of which the atom as a whole is electrically neutra

Poverty as a Challenge class 9 Economics MCQ & SAQ

  Poverty as a Challenge class 9 Economics MCQ & SAQ Poverty as a Challenge class 9 Economics NCERT SOLUTION: Q.1. Describe how the poverty line is estimated in India. Ans.
