Chemical Effects of Electric Current NCERT Summary Class VIII Science Chapter 14

Good Conductor
The substance through which electricity can pass is called good conductor. 
Examples - Copper, Aluminum

Poor conductor
The substance through which electricity can not pass is called poor conductor.
Examples- Rubber, plastic etc. 

Tester
A device that test conductance of a substance, is called tester. 

Solutions of acids, bases and salts are generally good conductor. 

Chemical effects of Current
Chemical reactions (effects) caused when electricity passes through a conducting liquid, is chemical effects of current. 

How to recognize chemical reaction
- Release of gas
- Change of colour of solution
- Release of heat
- Formation of new substance

In battery
No. of terminals- 2(positive and negative) 
Positive terminal is also called Anode. 
Negative terminal is also called cathode. 
Solution  is called electrolyte. 
Passing current through a solution
What happens when electricity is passed through copper sulphate solution
What happens when electricity is passed through copper sulphate
Blue line shows transfer of copper

Electroplating
The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another material by means of electricity, is called electroplating. 
Plating by means of electricity. 

Importance of electroplating
- Chromium plating on car parts, bath taps, kitchen gas etc
- Silver and gold plating on less expensive metals to make jewellery. 
- Tin plating on iron to make tin cans. 
- Zinc plating on iron used in bridges and automobiles. 

Chromium plating is done because
- Chromium has shiny appearance. 
- Chromium doesn't corrode. 
- However, chromium is expensive. It may not be economical to make the whole object out of chromium. 

Tin plating on iron is done because
- It doesn't corrode. 
- Food doesn't come in contact with iron. Food doesn't get spoilt. 

Zinc is coated over iron because
- Zinc protect iron from corrosion. 
- Iron article doesn't get damaged.

Friction NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 12 Summary Note

Friction The force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact, is called friction.  Factors affecting friction Weight of object  Nature of surfaces in contact More the weight of object, more the friction.  More smooth surface experience less friction.  Importance of friction Friction helps in stopping object Friction helps to write, walk,  Friction helps in all activities Friction produces heat.  Harm cause by Friction Sole of shoes wear out.  Machine parts get wear out.  Friction can be increased by making surfaces rough. ( More rough means more interlocking between surfaces which means more friction )  Friction can be decreased by applying lubricant on surfaces.  Friction can be decresed by changing shape of object.  Rolling friction The force that oppose motion of rolling object, is rolling friction.  Sliding friction The force that oppose moti...

Stars and the Solar System NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 17 Summary Note

Stars and Solar System Celestial objects The stars, the planets, the moons and many other objects in the sky are called celestial objects.  Full Moon Day  The day on which the whole disc of the moon is visible is known as full moon day.  New Moon Day On the fifteenth day after full moon day, the moon is not visible. This day is known as new moon day.  Crescent Moon  The moon whose only a small portion appears in the sky, is called crescent moon.  Phases of Moon  The various shapes of the bright part of the moon as seen during a month are called phases of moon.  The moon doesn't produce its own light.  We see the moon because, the sunlight falling on it gets reflected towards us.  The moon rotates on its axis.  The moon revolve around the Earth.  The moon has no atmosphere, no water,  Star The sun is also a star.  Sun appears larger than other stars. Because- -Stars are millions of times farther away than the sun....
