- There are always some free electrons inside any metal at room temperature .There will be some free electrons. these free electron inside the move randomly and collide frequently with heavier atoms and change their direction of motion at every time.When a steady electric field is applied to conductor, the electrons start moving towards the positive terminal of applied electrical potential difference but this movement of electrons doesn't happen in straightway. During travelling towards the positive potential the electrons continuously collide with the atoms and bounced back in a random fashion. During the collision the electrons lose some of their kinetic energy and again due to the presence of electric field, they are re-accelerated towards the positive potential and regain their kinetic energy. Again, during further collision the electrons partly lose their kinetic energy in the same manner. Thus the applied electric field cannot stop the random motion of the electrons inside a conductor. Although in presence of applied electric field, the motion of the electrons is still random, but there will be over all resultant movement of electrons towards positive terminals. In other words, the applied electric field makes the electrons to drift towards positive terminal. That means the electrons get an average drift velocity.
- drift velocity is denoted by u,
- u=μeE= I/ nAQ

While calculating the value of the goods produced we should only count the value of the final goods produced. We should not count or add the value of the intermediate goods because the value of the final goods already includes the value of the intermediate goods which are used in making the final goods.
For example: The value of ₹50 for a packet of biscuits (final good) already include the value of flour, sugar and other intermediate goods in it.

The sectors (i.e primary, secondary and tertiary sectors) of economy are interdependent. The primary sector is involved in natural products which we get from agriculture, fishing, dairy and forestry. When these natural products are converted to other forms of production through an industrial activity,it is known as the secondary sector. The tertiary sector provides services for the production of goods in the primary and secondary sectors. There are also certain important services such as teaching, medicine, law and information technology which may not directly help in the production of goods.

Barter system was used in ancient times for the exchange goods. It was a system where one commodity, product or some goods was exchanged for another. For instance, if a person has 1 kg of sugar and he wants to have 1 kg of jaggery in exchange for that, he can exchange the same if there is someone who is willing to exchange jaggery for sugar. This process was called a commodity for commodity exchange. Further, it was replaced by the monetary system.

रेलवे:
भारतीय रेलवे देश में प्रौद्योगिकी के बढ़ते स्तर का प्रतीक है। यह अपने रोलिंग स्टॉक की सभी आवश्यकताओं का उत्पादन करता है, अर्थात् रेलवे इंजन, वैगन और कोच। रेलवे इंजन तीन प्रकार के होते हैं: स्टीम, डीजल और इलेक्ट्रिक।
स्टीम इंजन को अब डीजल और इलेक्ट्रिक इंजन से बदल दिया जाता है क्योंकि ये ईंधन-कुशल और प्रदूषण-मुक्त होते हैं। इंजन पश्चिम बंगाल में चितरंजन, उत्तर प्रदेश के वाराणसी और झारखंड के जमशेदपुर में निर्मित होते हैं। रेल और स्लीपर बार लोहे और इस्पात संयंत्रों में निर्मित होते हैं।
कोच:
कोच पेरम्बूर, बैंगलोर, कपूरथला और कोलकाता में निर्मित होते हैं, जबकि वैगन निजी क्षेत्रों और रेलवे कार्यशालाओं में उत्पादित किए जाते हैं। चेन्नई के पास पेरम्बूर में इंटीग्रल कोच फैक्ट्री ने 1955 में स्विस सहयोग से रेलवे कोचों का उत्पादन शुरू किया। अब यह लगभग सभी प्रकार के कोचों का निर्माण करता है जिनमें वातानुकूलित कोच, इलेक्ट्रिक और डीजल रेल कारें और इलेक्ट्रिकल मल्टीपल यूनिट शामिल हैं।
बैंगलोर में भारत मूवर्स में प्रति वर्ष 400 ब्रॉड गेज कोच की एक स्थापित क्षमता है। पंजाब के कपूरथला में Ail Coach Factory की स्थापना मार्च, 1988 में की गई थी। इसकी प्रतिवर्ष 1000 कोच की स्थापित क्षमता है। यह एसी 3-स्तरीय कोच भी बना रहा है।
वैगन:
विज्ञापन:
रेलवे की बढ़ती मांगों को पूरा करने के लिए वैगन विनिर्माण उद्योग पूरी तरह से तैयार है। अधिकांश वैगन निजी क्षेत्र में उत्पादित किए जाते हैं। निजी क्षेत्र में 30,625 वैगन (4 पहिया वाहनों के संदर्भ में) और तीन रेलवे कार्यशालाओं की स्थापित क्षमता वाली 13 इकाइयाँ हैं जिनकी वार्षिक क्षमता लगभग 4,000 इकाइयाँ हैं। पश्चिम बंगाल में लगभग 60 प्रतिशत वैगन का उत्पादन किया जाता है और बाकी महाराष्ट्र, यूपी, पंजाब और दिल्ली से आते हैं।
अन्य रेलवे उपकरण:
रेल और स्लीपर सलाखों का निर्माण भिलाई और जमशेदपुर में लोहे और स्टील के काम में किया जाता है और दुर्गापुर, जमशेदपुर और राउरकेला में पहियों और एक्सल का निर्माण किया जाता है। कोच और वैगन सार्वजनिक और निजी दोनों क्षेत्रों में निर्मित होते हैं।
सड़क परिवहन:
सड़क परिवहन रेलवे की तुलना में अधिक व्यापक है। वर्तमान में, ट्रक, यात्री बस, कार, मोटर साइकिल, स्कूटर, आदि जैसे मोटर वाहन बड़ी संख्या में निर्मित होते हैं। भारत तीन पहिया वाहनों का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा उत्पादक है।
विज्ञापन:
ट्रैक्टर और साइकिल भी बड़ी संख्या में निर्मित होते हैं। भारत वर्तमान में एक वर्ष में लगभग 15 मिलियन साइकिल और 3.8 मिलियन स्कूटर और मोटरसाइकिल का उत्पादन करता है। यह उद्योग दिल्ली, गुड़गांव, मुंबई, पुणे, चेन्नई, कोलकाता, लखनऊ, इंदौर, हैदराबाद, जमशेदपुर और बैंगलोर के आसपास व्यापक रूप से वितरित किया जाता है।
ऑटोमोबाइल उद्योग:
स्वतंत्रता से पहले भारत में ऑटोमोबाइल उद्योग का वास्तविक अर्थों में अस्तित्व नहीं था। आयातित भागों से केवल असेंबली का काम किया गया था। जनरल मोटर्स (इंडिया) लिमिटेड ने 1928 में मुंबई में अपने कारखाने में ट्रकों और कारों को इकट्ठा करना शुरू किया। फोर्ड मोटर कंपनी (इंडिया) लिमिटेड ने 1930 में चेन्नई और 1931 में मुंबई में कारों और ट्रकों की असेंबलिंग शुरू की।
उद्योग का वास्तविक विकास 1947 में कुर्ला (मुंबई) में प्रीमियर ऑटोमोबाइल्स लिमिटेड और 1948 में उत्तरपारा (कलकत्ता) में हिंदुस्तान मोटर्स लिमिटेड की स्थापना के साथ शुरू हुआ। भारत में ऑटोमोबाइल उद्योग ने पिछले तीन दशकों के दौरान काफी प्रगति की है। । आज, यह अर्थव्यवस्था के सबसे जीवंत क्षेत्रों में से एक है।
ऑटोमोबाइल के निर्माण के लिए कुछ विशेष मामलों को छोड़कर किसी भी इकाई को स्थापित करने के लिए अब किसी भी औद्योगिक लाइसेंस की आवश्यकता नहीं है। वर्तमान में इस क्षेत्र में स्वचालित मार्ग के तहत 100% प्रत्यक्ष विदेशी निवेश की अनुमति है।
मुंबई, चेन्नई, जमशेदपुर, जबलपुर और कलकत्ता ऑटोमोबाइल बनाने वाले प्रमुख केंद्र हैं। ये केंद्र ट्रक, बसों, यात्री कारों, तीन पहिया और दो पहिया वाहनों सहित लगभग सभी प्रकार के वाहनों का उत्पादन करते हैं।
Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co. Ltd. (TELCO) भारत में उत्पादित होने वाले ऐसे वाहनों का 70 प्रतिशत से अधिक मध्यम और भारी वाणिज्यिक वाहनों और खातों का प्रमुख उत्पादक है। चार प्लांट, प्रत्येक हैदराबाद, पीथमपुर (म.प्र।), रूपनगर (पंजाब) के पास आगजनी और गाजियाबाद जिले में सूरजपुरा। हल्के वाणिज्यिक वाहनों का निर्माण।

Yes, classification of economic activities into primary, secondary and tertiary sector is useful as it helps in estimating the relative importance in the growth in GDP of the economy. Classifying in such a way helps in calculating how much goods and services are produced and how many people work in each sector. In India tertiary is growing at a very fast speed which implies that the country is moving towards developed country. This type of classification helps in comparing the level of growth in different countries.

The democracy doesn’t guarantee economic development. In most of the democracies, a small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and income. For example, countries like South Africa and Brazil, the top 20% people take away more than 60 % of the national income. Unfortunately, those who are at the bottom of the society have a very little share (less than 3 %) to depend upon. Even in India, the elected government looks reluctant to take necessary steps for the upliftment of the large section of poor in our society. The situation is much worse in some other countries. In Bangladesh, more than half of its population lives in poverty. People in several poor countries are now dependent on the rich countries even for food supplies.
Thus, it can be concluded that in actual life, democracies do ’ not appear to be very successful in reducing economic inequalities

Gandhiji launched the Non-cooperation movement of 1921 because:
According to Gandhiji , the British rule was established in India with the cooperation of Indians, and had survived only because of this cooperation. So time has arrived o withdraw cooperation to the British.
First World War added to the misery of the Indian people. Heavy taxes, high prices, famines and epidemics made people's life miserable.
Rowlatt Act invited large scale protests throughout the country.
Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the injustice done to Punjab made Indians angry which need to be avenged.
To restore the status of the ruler of Turkey.
To bring Swaraj or Self Rule to India.
Mahatma Gandhi declared that the main objectives of the non cooperation movement were :
To cripple the British administration and make them realize that they cannot function without the actual support of the Indians.
To avenge the wrong done by the Government in Punjab (Jallianwala Bagh Massacre) in a non violent way.
To bring about unity among the people. To inculcate a sense of nationalism.
To promote khadi and to attain Swaraj.
