PHYSICS

Dear students first find out where the electricity meter (noting the units consumed in
your house ) is installed . Then fill in the following information table:
Reading of the
meter on 1
st

June

June
Total units
consumed in 15
days
Amount
charged for
one unit

for 15 days









Now analyse and suggest some ways by which you can reduce the amount of the units
consumed. Adopt the strategy and then find the units consumed by 30

Objective: To study the distance between different points of a geometrical figure (line,
triangle, square, parallelogram, rectangle) when it is displaced or rotated.
Procedure- Take a graph paper and draw X axis and Y axis such that the graph is divided into
four quadrants. Now lets for example take a triangle and place it in the first quadrant and
note the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle. Now displace the triangle on the graph
horizontally into other quadrants and note the coordinates. Find out what happens the length
of the sides of the figure.
