Write a short note on Environmental Conservation.
✓
Answer
i. Environmental conservation is protection, preservation, management, or restoration of the natural environment.
ii. It is necessary to conserve our environment because any imbalance in the environment directly affects the existence of the biotic factors.
iii. The environment fulfils our basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. It constitutes our food chain, thus conserving it is necessary for sustenance of life. However, population explosion has led to overconsumption of natural resources.
iv. Environmental conservation involves the use of natural resources rationally in order to avoid excessive degradation of environment.

Make a circuit by connecting the two terminals of the electric cell to the key as shown in the fig. 5.13. Place the compass needle close to it. Note carefully the direction in which the compass needle is pointing, close the key for few seconds. Release the key and watch again. Repeat the steps again by changing its polarity. Record the observations.
(i) Why does the needle get deflected when the key is pressed?
(ii) Connect two battery cells in series to the two ends of the wire and now form the key. What do you observe?
