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 motion of sliding object, is sliding friction. 

Sliding friction is more than rolling friction. 

Fluid
Liquid and gas are called fluid. 

Drag/Fluid friction
Frictional force exerted by fluids is called fluid. 

Aeroplane have streamline shape. Because the shape reduces fluid friction. So aeroplane flies with less opposition.

Light NCERT Science Class 8 Summary Note

Image
What Makes Things Visible   When light from an object enters our eyes, then we see the object.  The light may have been emitted or reflected by the object.  Mirror   Highly polished surface is called mirror.  Reflection Bending back of light ray after falling on a surface, is called reflection.  Incident ray The light ray which strikes any surface, is called incident ray.  Reflected ray  The ray that comes back from the surface after reflection, is called as reflected ray.  Normal Line perpendicular to surface at point of incidence of light ray, is called normal.  Angle of incidence The angle between normal and incident ray, is called angle of incidence.  Angle of reflection The angle between normal and reflected ray, is called angle of reflection.  Laws of reflection (i) The incident ray, the normal at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.  (ii) The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.  Nature of Images formed by Plane Mirro

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 c
