Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. He was born in 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat. Gandhi studied law in London and later practiced law in South Africa, where he experienced racism and discrimination, which inspired his advocacy for nonviolent civil disobedience. He helped organize several non-cooperation movements in India in the early 1920s, and led the Quit India Movement in 1942 calling for immediate independence. Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 by Nathuram Godse, with India gaining independence later that year.John F. Kennedy

This document discusses the history and relationship between electricity and magnetism. It notes that while magnetism has been observed for millennia, the understanding of both electricity and magnetism was limited until the 1800s. The key developments that linked the two were Oersted's discovery in 1820 that an electric current could produce a magnetic field, and Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic induction in 1831. This established that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current. Together these discoveries showed that electricity and magnetism are two aspects of a single phenomenon known as electromagnetism.What's The Good Word - Chai Pe Quiz Kids Series

Terms and IdeasAthena Parojinog
油
Ideas are formed through the interaction of the senses and intellect. There are 7 stages to idea formation: sensation, attention, abstraction, reflection, comparison, analysis, and synthesis. Ideas have logical qualities of comprehension and extension. They can be classified based on origin, relation, comprehension, and extension. Terms are defined through nominal definitions, which explain the meaning of a term based on its name, and real definitions, which explain the meaning based on the essence of the idea. Definitions must be clear, brief, avoid circularity, and have coextensive scope with the term defined.Ad
