How to teach and learn Physics easily?
There are so many innovative and simplified method of teaching Physics.In my experience students can easily remember the events, dialogue or story of movies for long time . We can make use of it. There are so many situations or scene in films which directly related with Physics topic. As a secondary
level school teacher I am trying to convey the physics topic - Effect of electric current -Tenth class first chapter, SCERT kerala Syllubus, From my last ten year experience I am sure it should bu very useful tool to convey the difficult ideas of Physics
Thank you all of you, Please go through my youtube link given, If you are interested please comment it is helpful for me to improve

Why Quantum mechanics?
Quantum Mechanics Basic concepts
Why Quantum mechanics?
Before discussing the Quantum physics we have to go through Classical mechanics
Fault Concepts of classical mechanics which leads to quantum mechanics
1. According to Newton for every motion there is a reason for it. It is called the cause and effect relationship
2.If you now the exact position and velocity of the moving object we can predict its position in future and past with certainty.
3. According to classical theory there is no uncertainty in any phenomenon, it is the determinism of classical mechanics
4.Energy can be transfered from one place to another either as particle or as waves.These forms cannot merge together
5.Measurement is perfect if the working condition of the measuring device is perfect. The error in measurement take place only by the fault of measuring device

PHOTO ELECTRIC EFFECT
The emission of electrons from the surface of the certain substances mainly metals, when they are illuminated by electro magnetic waves.
The alkali metals like lithium, sodium, potassium emit electrons when exposed with visible light. Ultra violet rays eject electrons from Zinc and magnesium. Infra red rays emitted photo electrons from caesium. This effect is first discovered by Heinrich Hertz

FRAME OF REFERENCE,LIMITATIONS OF NEWTONS LAW,CARTESIAN COORDINATE SYSTEM,fictitious force
MOTION AND REST
If the position of a body changes with time ,the body is in the state of motion. If the position of the body does not changes with time it is said to be at rest.
ABSOLUTE MOTION
when the motion of a body is observed with respect to a point which is stationary in space is called absolute motion. But in universe no point is stationary. So absolute motion is an imaginary concept.
MOTION IS RELATIVE ie we can define motion relative to other bodies.
FRAME OF REFERENCE
A tree on the ground is at rest relative to earth. But it is in motion relative to sun.So in order to describe motion we first select one frame
If we imagine a co ordinate system attached to a rigid body and we describe the position of any particle in space relative to it. Then such a co-ordinate system is called frame of reference. for location of the object the position vector are drawn from the origin of co-ordinate system. The origin may coincide with the position of observer or not But an observer uses a frame of reference which is stationary relative to him.
CARTESIAN COORDINATE SYSTEM
For the location of an event in a frame of reference we require its position and time of occurrence. Therefore 4 coordinates are required(x,y,z,t). It is called space-time frame of reference.We select a frame of reference in which the motion is easy to describe.
Example
1)A man sitting in the train throw a ball vertically upwards, with respect to an observer sitting in train the path of ball is vertically straight line. But an observer outside the train the path of ball is parabolic.
The frame of observer in train is simple with describing the motion of the ball
2)To describe the motion of planets in the frame with respect to earth is very complicated. But the frame situated in on sun is very simple. Now the motion of all planets are circular
3)Motion of a point on a slow moving wheel of a car. If the frame is on the center of wheel, then the motion of point is circular. But frame situated on earth the motion of point is cycloid.
LIMITATIONS OF NEWTONS LAW
According to Newton's first law a body continues its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by an external force.
This law violates when the observer is in an accelerated frame. Suppose if the object is at rest and the observer is on an accelerated frame, he can observe the object with negative acceleration and he at rest. A fictitious force is acting on the body.
So Newton introduced an inertial frame , which is not accelerated relative to fixed stars and his laws are valid only in inertial frame.

LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS
SYSTEM & SURROUNDINGS
System refers to the part of universe chosen for our study
The portion of universe excluded from the system is called surroundings
Types of systems
open system
A system which can exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings is called open system.
Eg: hot coffee kept in a open vessel
Closed system
A system which can exchange energy but not matter is with its surroundings is called open system.
Eg: hot coffee kept in a closed vessel with conducting walls
Isolated system
A system which can neither exchange matter or energy with its surroundings is called open system.
Eg:hot coffee kept in a thermos flask
STATE FUNCTION & PATH FUNCTION
Property of a system depends only on the state of system and not depend on the path along which that state is attained is called state function
Eg:Pressure , volume , temperature
Property of a system which depends on the path along with the state is attained
is called path function
Eg: work, heat
INTENSIVE & EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES
Properties which are independent of amount of matter present in a system is called intensive properties
Eg:Pressure , viscosity , temperature
Properties which are dependent of amount of matter present in a system is called intensive properties
Eg: Mass, Volume , Energy
ENERGY OF A SYSTEM
Energy of a system is its capacity to do work. When a system does work, its energy is reduced and when work is done on a system its energy increases.
ADIABATIC & ISOTHERMAL PROCESS
A process in which no heat enters or leaves the system is called an adiabatic process. In such process the system is completely insulated from the surroundings.
An isothermal process is one which the temperature of the system remains constant throughout.In such a system energy can exchange to surroundings
ENDOTHERMIC & EXOTHERMIC PROCESS
process which liberates energy as heat is called an exothermic process
process which liberates energy as heat is called an exothermic process
REVERSIBLE PROCESS & IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS
A reversible process is one which is conducted infinitesimally slowly such that at every stage the driving force is only infinitesimally greater than the opposing force.. Such a process can be reversed by increasing the opposing force by an infinitesimal amount.
A process in which the driving force at any stage is greater than the opposing force is called an irreversible process.
All natural forces are irreversible.
INTERNAL ENERGY OF A SYSTEM(E)
The internal energy is the sum of total energies associated with the translational,rotational, vibrational,electronic, and nuclear motions at the molecular level as well as potential energy of interaction between constituent particles.
H=E+PV
A process in which the driving force at any stage is greater than the opposing force is called an irreversible process.
All natural forces are irreversible.
INTERNAL ENERGY OF A SYSTEM(E)
The internal energy is the sum of total energies associated with the translational,rotational, vibrational,electronic, and nuclear motions at the molecular level as well as potential energy of interaction between constituent particles.
ENTHALPY(H)
Enthalpy is the sum of internal energy and pressure volume energy.H=E+PV
THE ZEROTH LAW
Two systems that are both in thermal equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium with each other
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed it may be converted from one form to another
SPONTANEOUS PROCESS
A process which has a natural urge to take place by itself under a given set of conditions.
ENTROPY
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
Greater the entropy greater the disorder
SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
The entropy of the universe remains constant in a reversible process where as it increases in a irreversible process
GIBBS FREE ENERGY
It is the maximum amount of energy available with a system that can be converted into useful work or free energy the measure of the capacity of a system to do useful workG=H-TS(Gibbs -Helmholtz equation)
A process should be spontaneous only if the free energy change is negative.
JOULE THOMSON EFFECT
When a gas under high pressure is allowed to explain under adiabatic conditions through a porous plus in to a region of low pressure, there occur a change in its temperature. When a gas expands adiabatically some work is done by the gas to overcome the van der waals force of attraction between molecules.This is done at the cost of the kinetic energy of the gaseous molecules.Then the internal energy decreses the temperature decreasesTuesday, 2 April 2013
PRIMARY CELLS -voltaic cell,daniel cell
PRIMARY CELLS
Cells which gives the electrical energy by irreversible chemical reaction is called primary cell .primary cells are not rechargeable.
VOLTAIC CELL
A voltaic cell consist of of copper and zinc electrodes dipped in dilute sulphuric acid.The positive charges accumulate on the copper electrode and negative charges on the zinc electrode.This is because the electrolyte decomposes in to H ions and Sulphate ions. The negatively charged sulphate ions move towards Zn and Zn loses two electrons and become ZnSO4 .Positively charged Hydrogen ions move towards Cu and accept two electrons and hydrogen gas is liberated.
When the circuit is closed the Cu is at higher potential and Zn is at lower potential. Current flows from Cu electrodes to Zn electrode in the external circuit. The emf of the cell is 1V.
DANIEL CELL
Danial cell consist of a copper vessel containing copper sulphate solution. The wall of the vessel is the positive electrode. A porous pot containing dilute sulphuric acid is placed in the CuSO4 solution. The Zinc rod is immersed in dilute sulphuric acid. This is the negative electrode.
The porous pot allows the ions to pass from one solution to other but prevents the mixing of the solutions.Oxidation take place at Zinc rod.The Zinc ions move to the copper sulphate solution through the porous pot and combine with sulphate ion to form zinc sulphate.
Cu ions move towards the copper vessel and are deposited there.The reduction reaction take place
