ELECTRICAL MEASURING INSTRUMENTS For the detection or measurement of electric current, potential difference, and resistance certain instruments have been devised viz. The galvanometer for the detection of small currents measurements of small currents of the order of micro amperes or mili amperes the voltmeter or potentiometer for the measurement of potential difference (and voltage) between two points of a circuit are the EMF of a source the ammeter for the measurement of large currents the wheatstone bridge the meter Bridge the post office box and the ohmmeter for the measurement of resistance. THE MOVING COIL GALVANOMETER The moving coil galvanometer is a basic electrical instrument it is used for the detection (and Measurement) of small currents. Its underlying principle is the fact that when a current flows in a rectangular coil placed in a magnetic field it experiences a magnetic torque. If it is free to rotate under a controlling torque, it rotates through an angle proportional t...

NUCLEAR RADIATIONS INTERACTION OF NUCLEAR RADIATIONS WITH MATTER In the previous article we have discussed natural radioactivity in which  α and β particles and γ-rays are emitted from the disintegrating nucleus of an atom.In nuclear fission and fusion reactions neutrons and other particles together with certain radiations are emitted from the nucleus.Moreover, interaction of high energy particles (neutral or artificial) with matter produce certain nuclear or atomic reactions with emission of particles like protons,deutrons,neutrons and ionizing radiations like γ-rays from the nucleus and x-rays and ultraviolet rays from the atom.These particles and radiations have been studied carefully for their properties and effects with are as follows: ALPHA (α)  PARTICLES It shoots out from the nucleus with a high velocity ( 0.1 × 10 ^ 8 m/s ). Thus it possesses very high energy 7.7 MeV for the most energetic from R ac.Due to its large size more charge and high energy it can make very l...
HOW TO PREPARE IODOFORM? To prepare Iodoform by the action of iodine on ethyl alcohol in the presence of alkali.\ APPARATUS: Two 100 mls beakers ( one for ethanol and other NaOH solution),glass rod,filter paper,funnel,watch glass . CHEMICALS: Ethanol (ethyl alcohol absolute) 10 mls 10% NaOH solution (20 mls) powdered iodine (2 gms) distilled water. THEORY: The reaction of halogens with alcohol or carbonyl compounds (acetaldehyde CH3 - CHO or methyl ketones CH3 - C  R) in the presence of alkali NaOH to form haloform (CHX3) is called haloform reaction.If the halogen is iodine the the formation of iodoform will take place and the reaction is called iodoform reaction. In the first reaction,ethyl alcohol is oxidized to acetalhyde.In the next step acetalhyde reacts with iodine to give tri-iodo acetaldehyde or iodal which on reaction with NaOH gives iodoform. EQUATION:  C2H5OH + 4I2 + 6NaOH ------------> CHI3 + HCOONa +5NaI + 5H2O PROCEDURE: Take 2gms of powdered iodine in a beake...
GROUP TRENDS IN ALKALI AND ALKALINE EARTH METALS In this article,the group trends in properties such as electron negativity,ionization potential,heat of hydration,sizes of atoms and ions and other physical properties are discussed. (i) Electronegativity:- The elements have very small electronegativity values and very generally called electropositive elements.Electronegativity decreases from Li through Cs as one moves down the group.Pauling's electronegativity values IA ans IIA group elements are summarized. (ii) Ionization Potential:- s-Block elements in general have low first ionization enthalpies because the outer s-electron is shielded very effectively from the nucleus by the inner electrons.The first ionization enthalpy of each of the alkali metal is lower than corresponding alkaline earth element in the same period, because the latter has an extra nuclear proton which causes an increase in the electrostatic attractive force between the nucleus and the outermost electrons.Secon...
