Ex 8 Give reasons
Q1 A fuse is kept in the domestic electric circuit because it melts due to excess of current and the
circuit becomes open. Current stops flowing in the circuit and electrical appliances are prevented from
damage. Hence a fuse wire is kept in electric circuit In the house.
L-2
1] In tailors scissors, the length of blades is kept more than that of the handles..so that load distance
becomes more than effort distance. So on applying force on handle, handle move less but blades
move more distance. So more length of cloth is cut quickly and the speed of work increases.
2. In scissors for cutting metal sheet, the length of the handles is kept more than that of blades..so that,
the effort distance becomes more than the load distance and work can be done with less effort. Thus
the cutting of metal sheet can be done with less effort .

EXPERIMENT II
AimTo separate the components from the mixture of camphor and common salt.

Apparatustripod, cotton, glass funnel, evaporating dish, camphor and common salt, wire
guaze, spirit lamp.
Method: 1] Take a mixture of camphor and common salt in an evaporating dish. 2] Arrange the
evaporating dish on a tripod stand as shown in the figure. 3] Place a glass funnel upside down
over the evaporating dish. 4] close the nozzle of the glass funnel with cotton. 5] Heat the mixture
till the white smoke starts rising up in the nozzle of the funnel, then extinguish the spirit lamp. 6]
Allow the glass funnel to cool down for some time and observe the white substance on the inner
side of the funnel.
Observation: 1] White particles deposited on the inner side of the funnel are particles of
camphor. 2] The component in the dish is common salt.
Conclusion: Some solid substance are converted directly into gaseous form on heating and on
cooling we get the pure solid substance. This method is called Sublimation.
