Grade 10 Science Formula & Revision Sheet
Physics
Electricity (Ch 12)
- Ohm’s Law: V = IR
- Resistance in series: R = R1 + R2 + ...
- Resistance in parallel: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ...
- Electric Power: P = VI = I²R = V²/R
- Electric Energy: E = P × t
Magnetic Effects of Electric Current (Ch 13)
- Right Hand Thumb Rule
- Fleming’s Left Hand Rule (Force)
- Fleming’s Right Hand Rule (Induced Current)
- Force on conductor: F = BIL (sin θ)
- Magnetic field of solenoid acts like bar magnet.
Light: Reflection (Ch 10)
- Mirror Formula: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u
- Magnification: m = h’/h = v/u
- Sign convention: (Use Cartesian sign convention)
Chemistry
Chemical Reactions & Equations (Ch 1)
- Types: Combination, Decomposition, Displacement, Double Displacement, Redox.
- Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass of reactants = Mass of products.
Acids, Bases, and Salts (Ch 2)
- pH scale: pH = -log[H+]
- Neutralisation: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
- Important salts: NaCl, NaOH, Ca(OH)■, Na■CO■, Plaster of Paris (CaSO■·½H■O)
Metals & Non-Metals (Ch 3)
- Properties of metals: malleable, ductile, conductor.
- Reaction: Metal + Oxygen → Metal Oxide
- Metal + Acid → Salt + H■
- Ionic bond: transfer of electrons.
Biology
Life Processes (Ch 6)
- Nutrition: Autotrophic (photosynthesis) & Heterotrophic (holozoic, saprophytic).
- Respiration: Glucose → CO■ + H■O + Energy
(Aerobic: complete breakdown, Anaerobic: partial breakdown).
- Transportation: Xylem (water), Phloem (food).
- Excretion: Nephron is the functional unit of kidney.
Control & Coordination (Ch 7)
- Nervous system: Neuron = structural & functional unit.
- Reflex action: Involuntary, spinal cord controlled.
- Plant hormones: Auxin, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic Acid.
- Human endocrine glands: Pituitary, Thyroid, Pancreas, Adrenal.
