What is Potential energy (with example)

Energy is the capacity to do work. Energy is a scalar quantity. Unit of measurement of energy is Jole, same as that of work. Potential energy: The energy possessed by a body due to its position is

Laws of Friction

Coulomb in 1781 conducted several experiment on t he friction of plane on dry surface. On the basis of his experiments he stated some laws of friction which as follows – Law of static friction Law of

Why holes are not generated in metals

Vacancy of electron created in the valance band of solid due to the upward transition of electron is called hole. In case of semiconductor valance and conduction bands are separated by a gap and hence electron can

Force of friction and their types

Friction is the property of two surfaces is contact by virtue of which each surface resists the relative motion of the other surface. Thus when a body moves or tends to move tangentially with respect to the
