Objects can be positively charged, negatively charged or neutral (no charge).
A substance that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while a substance that loses electrons becomes positively charged.
When a charged object comes near to another object they will either attract or repel each other.
If the charges are the same - they repelIf the charges are opposite - they attractIf one is charged and the other is not - they attract
Like charges repel. Unlike charges attract.
Now as quantum mechanics suggests that attraction and repulsion is because of virtual transfer of photons.And it is obvious that positively charged particles will have photons in excess i.e, positive charge is more so when 2 like charges contact each other both the charges tend to transfer their virtual photons between themselves as a result of this electrostatic force of repulsion acts between the 2 positively charged particles and they repel each other.
OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT:-
As positively charged particles have excess of virtual photons and negatively charged particles are photon deficient both the particles will tend to attract each other as positively charged particle will tend to transfer its virtual photons to negatively charged particle and it will tend to accept those virtual photons.Thus, electrostatic force of attraction is created and they attract each other.

Many factors are responsible for motivating youngsters towards alcohol or drugs. Curiosity, need for adventure and excitement, experimentation are the initial causes of motivation. Some youngsters start consuming drugs and alcohol in order to overcome negative emotions (such as stress, pressure, depression, frustration) and to excel in various fields. Several mediums like television, internet, newspaper, movies etc. are also responsible for promoting the idea of alcohol to the younger generation. Amongst these factors, reasons such as unstable and unsupportive family structures and peer pressure can also lead an individual to be dependant on drugs and alcohol.
Preventive measures against addiction of alcohol and drugs:
(a) Parents should motivate and try to increase the will power of their child.
(b) Parents should educate their children about the ill-effects of alcohol. They should provide them with proper knowledge and counselling regarding the consequences of addiction to alcohol.
(c) It is the responsibility of the parent to discourage a child from experimenting with alcohol. Youngsters should be kept away from the company of friends who consume drugs.
(d) Children should be encouraged to devote their energy in other extra- curricular and recreational activities.
(e) Proper professional and medical help should be provided to a child if sudden symptoms of depression and frustration are observed.

Refractive index of a medium is defined as the factor by which speed of light reduces as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.
→ More (less) refractive index implies less (more) speed of light in that medium, which therefore is called denser (rarer) medium.

The refraction index, n, of a transparent medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in that medium. The formula is n= c/v
where the speed of light c=3×108m/s and v is the speed of light in the desired medium which is given as v=2.4×108m/s.
Therefore, n=3×108m/s/ 2.4×108m/s=1.25.
Hence, the refractive index of the transparent medium is 1.25.

Self Induction: When there is a change in the current or magnetic flux of the coil, an opposed induced electromotive force is produced. This phenomenon is termed as Self Induction. When the current starts flowing through the coil at any instant, it is found that, that the magnetic flux becomes directly proportional to the current passing through the circuit. The relation is given as:
ϕ= I
ϕ = L I
Mutual Induction: We take two coils, and they are placed close to each other. The two coils are P- coil (Primary coil) and S- coil (Secondary coil). To the P-coil, a battery, and a key is connected wherein the S-coil a galvanometer is connected across it. When there is a change in the current or magnetic flux linked with two coils an opposing electromotive force is produced across each coil, and this phenomenon is termed as Mutual Induction. The relation is given as:
ϕ = I
ϕ = M I

Working principle of electric motors
The working of an electric motor is based on the assumption that a conductive current generates a magnetic field around it. Consider the following situation,
Take two bar magnets, and leave a small space between the poles facing each other. Now, take a small conductive wire length and make a loop. Keep this connection between the magnets, so that it is still inside the magnet’s area of influence. Now for the final part. Attach loop ends to battery terminals.
As electricity flows through your simple circuit, you will find that your loop “moves.” The magnet’s magnetic field interferes with that generated by the conductor’s electrical current flow. Because the loop has become a magnet, it will draw one side of it to the magnet’s north pole, and the other to the south pole. That causes the loop to rotate continuously. This is the idea of an electric motor working.

- The female reproductive part in a plant is called the pistil.
- It consists of three parts- stigma, style and ovary.
- The sticky part at the top called a stigma.
- A thin tube passing down is called a style.
- A swollen sac-like structure at the bottom is called an ovary.
- The pollen grains are transferred onto the stigma which then travels down the style into the ovary, where it meets with the ovules and fertilization takes place.
