(a) If the substance can be hammered to convert into sheets then it is metal if it is broken into pieces then it is non-metal. 
(b) Set up the circuit arrangement using bulb, battery, wire and switch. Place the object between the ends of circuit. If the bulb starts glowing then the substance is a metal otherwise it is non-metal because metals are good conductor of electricity.
Generally above methods can be used to identify metals and non-metals. But there are some exceptions also for example sodium is metal which is not malleable in fact it is brittle. Graphite, allotrope of non-metal carbon, is a good conductor of electricity.

4 SCIENCE FOR TENTH C If joules of work has to be done to move coulombs of charge from one point to then the potential difference between the two points is given by the formula : Potential difference, where work done and quantity of charge moved The SI unit of potential difference is volt which is denoted by the letter . The poten The potential difference between two points is said to be 1 volt if 1 joule of work is also sometimes written in symbols as p.d. 1 coulomb of electric charge from one point to the other. Thus, 1 volt or or The potential difference is measured by means of an instrument called voltmeter (see Figure 4). The voltmeter is always connected in parallel across the two points where the potential difference is to be measured. For example, in Figure 5 we have a conductor such as a resistance wire (which is the part of a circuit), and we want to measure the potential difference across its ends. So, one end of the voltmeter is connected to the point and the other end to the point . We can read the value of the potential difference in volts on the dial of the voltmeter. A voltmeter has a high resistance so that it takes a from the circuit. The term "volt" gives rise to the word "voltage". Voltage is the other difference. We will now solve some problems based on potential difference. Sample Problem 1. How much work is done in moving a charge of 2 coulombs volts to a point at 128 volts ? Solution. We know that : Potential difference or Here, Potential difference, volts Work done, ? And, Charge moved, coulombs Putting these values in the above formula, we get : (To be calculated)
