For hysteresis... well, the concept is just that on a variety of
voltage / current / flux graphs the on-to-off and off-to-on curves
will never be identical, and cycles over time will describe squashy
loops.

lagging of the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material, such as iron, behind variations of the magnetizing field. When ferromagnetic materials are placed within a coil of wire carrying an electric current, the magnetizing field, or magnetic field strength H, caused by the current forces some or all of the atomic magnets in the material to align with the field. The net effect of this...
major reference
All ferromagnetic materials exhibit the phenomenon of hysteresis, a lag in response to changing forces based on energy losses resulting from internal friction. If B is measured for various values of H and the results are plotted in graphic form, the result is a loop of the type shown in the accompanying figure, called a hysteresis loop. The name describes the situation in which...

...is removed and a positive field applied, B traces out the lower broken line back to a positive saturation value. Further cycles of H retrace the broken curve, which is known as the hysteresis curve, because the change in B always lags behind the change in H. The hysteresis curve is not unique unless saturation is attained in each direction; interruption and...
magnetic recording
...material, they exhibit a certain magnetic inertia, or unwillingness to respond, so that it requires a greater magnetic field than expected to magnetize the oxide on the tape. This effect, known as hysteresis, leads to distortion of the wave shape on the tape. In order to overcome this problem, a sinusoidal signal of about 100 kilohertz is added to the wave immediately before the wave is...
rock magnetism
The concept of hysteresis is fundamental when describing and comparing the magnetic properties of rocks. Hysteresis is the variation of magnetization with applied field and illustrates the ability of a material to retain its magnetization, even after an applied field is removed.

morrison&boyd. its better
and also arihant- rk gupta. its too good.

similarly for
PHYSICS- u have hc-verma(for theory and sums),TMH-for problems(very nice),
CHEMISTRY-RK Gupta(ARIHANT) the best book that i have read, true, its so explainatory and simple language.,better than op tandon.

hey
hai
most of the students prefer das-gupta OR TMH, according to a research conducted by the narayana and chaitanya instutions.

so, its up to u. accvording to me , TMH is better and more reader friendly, i myself use it.!

according to sriram-dry HCl cannot liberate ions.Hence HCl(dry) has a neutral behaviour towards dry blue litmus paper.
or
maybe, the litmus paper must be moist!

SIR, IM RAGHUVAR V.S

IM BASICALLY A LITTLE WEAK AT PHYSICS. IVE COMPLETED MY INTER FIRST YEAR BY NOW.

THANX

UR WELOME MY FREND!

HAI

im off to discuss an important topic, ie the pressure that is being imposed on students by their parents(though for a good cause)

see, nowadays competition has increased a lot. and this made students more conscious and their parentsz, MORE ANXIOUS.

we cant blame parents for this. they want to see us shine. but the child has to be given options and time to relax. but parents want their children to be with books for all the 24 hours.[THIS CASE IS NOT FOR ALL THE READERS]

pressure is building on the students. if this is the case, then there wont come out a positive result.

ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TO SUGGEST THEIR TIPS TO ANDF AMONG US, TO OVERCOME STRESS & PRESSURE AND HOW TO STUDY BETTER IN A PLANNED MANNER.

PLEASE TAKE THIS TOPIC SERIOUSLY AND PROCEED. THESE TIPS OF URS WILL SURELY BE HELPFUL TO THE WHOLE STUDENT COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU ALL.

HECMHEMIISTSRYTRY

(CLASSES XI–XII)

Rationale

Higher Secondary Stage is the most crucial stage of school education because at this stage specialised

discipline based, content oriented courses are introduced. Students reach this stage after 10 years of

general education and opt for Chemistry with a purpose of mostly for pursuing their career in basic

sciences or professional courses like medicines, engineering, technology and studying courses in applied

areas of science and technology at tertiary level. Therefore, at this stage, there is a need to provide

learners with sufficient conceptual background of Chemistry, which will make them competent to

meet the challenges of academic and professional courses after the higher secondary stage.

National Curriculum Framework for School Education – 2005 recommends a disciplinary approach

with appropriate rigour and depth with the care that syllabus is not heavy and at the same time it is

comparable to the international level. It emphasizes a coherent focus on important ideas within the

discipline that are properly sequenced to optimize learning. It recommends that theoretical component

of Higher Secondary Science should emphasize on problem solving methods and the awareness of

historical development of key concepts of science be judiciously integrated into content. The present

exercise of syllabus development in Chemistry at Higher Secondary Stage is based on this framework.

Salient features of the present syllabus are thus:

• Some background of Chemistry from secondary stage is assumed; however, no specific

knowledge of topics in Chemistry is pre-supposed.

• The course is self-contained and broadly covers fundamental concepts of Chemistry.

• Attempt has been made to see discipline of Chemistry does not remain only the science of

facts but becomes related to modern applications in the world around us.

• The syllabus provides logical sequencing of the ‘Units’ of the subject matter with proper

placement of concepts with their linkages for better understanding.

• Emphasis has been on promoting process – skills, problem solving abilities and applications

of concepts of Chemistry useful in real life situation for making learning of Chemistry more

relevant, meaningful and interesting.

• An effort has been made on the basis of feedback, to remove repetition besides reducing the

content by suitably integrating the different content areas.

• Practical syllabus has two components. There are core experiments to be undertaken by the

students in the classroom and will be part of examination while each student will carry out one

investigatory project and submit the report for the examination.

With this background, the Chemistry curriculum at the higher secondary stage attempts to

• promote understanding of basic principles in Chemistry while retaining the excitement in Chemistry;

• develop an interest in students to study Chemistry as discipline;

• strengthen the concepts developed at the secondary stage and to provide firm foundation for

further learning of Chemistry at tertiary level more effectively;

• develop positive scientific attitude, and appreciate contribution of Chemistry towards the

improvement of quality of human life;

• develop problem solving skills and nurture curiosity, aesthetic sense and creativity;

• inculcate values of honesty, integrity, cooperation, concern for life and preservation of the environment;

• make the learner realise the interface of Chemistry with other disciplines of science such as

Physics, Biology, Geology, etc;

• equip students to face challenges related to health, nutrition, environment, population, whether

industries and agriculture.
