The commercial unit of energy is kilowatt-hour which is written as kWh. The SI unit of electrical energy is
joule.
A joule is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an appliance of 1 watt power is used for one second.
Joule represents a very small quantity of energy so we use a bigger unit called kilowatt hour.
One kilowatt hour is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an electrical appliance with a power rating
of 1 kilowatt is used for 1 hour.
1 kW h is the energy used in one hour at the rate of 1000 J s - 1 (or 1 kW).
1 kW h = 1 kW × 1 h
= 1000 W × 3600 s
= 3600000 J
1 kW h = 3.6 × 106 J.
The energy used in households, industries and commercial establishments are usually expressed in kilowatt hour.
For example, electrical energy used during a month is expressed in terms of ‘units’. Here, 1 ‘unit’ means 1
kilowatt hour. The electricity meter installed in our home records the electrical energy consumed by us in
kilowatt-hours.
i. What is the commercial unit of energy? (1)
ii. What is the SI unit of electrical energy? (1)
iii. How is electrical energy used during a month expressed and recorded? (2)
OR
Find out the relation between Kilowatt-hour and joule. (2)

Everything in this universe is made up of material “matter”. The air we breathe, the food we eat, stones, clouds,
stars, plants and animals, even a small drop of water or a particle of sand – everything is matter. when we make
tea, coffee or lemonade, particles of one type of matter get into the spaces between particles of the other. This
shows that there is enough space between particles of matter. Particles of matter are continuously moving, that
is, they possess what we call kinetic energy. particles of matter have a force acting between them. This force
keeps the particles together. The strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another.

i. Define matter? give some examples. (1)

ii. Explain with activity that matter have space between them? (1)
iii. How can we say that solid has the strongest intermolecular force? (2)
OR

39. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
A farmer has grown wheat on his field consecutively two times but when the third time he grows wheat on the
same field the quality of the wheat was not up to the desired level. To improve the quality of his crops he uses
chemical fertilizer but the condition of the crop became worse. One of his friends told him to grow a different
variety of crops after wheat so as to grow two or three crops in a year with good harvests and use biological
manure in place of chemical fertilizers which he prepares by animal excreta and plant waste to get the good
quality of crops. He also told him about the good storage of his grains to protect them from the biotic and abiotic
losses as in agriculture storage losses are very high.
i. What are the bases on which the next crop is decided to grow in the same field also name the process? (1)
ii. What is the advantage of using biological manure over chemical fertilizers? (1)
iii. Is it possible for the farmer to grow two crops at the same time if yes what is the requirement? (2)
OR
Enlist the biotic and abiotic losses? (2)
