Eccentricity is a measure that defines the shape of specific segment of conic sections. Student can check the eccentricity for different conic sections below;
Circle: e = 0
Parabola: e = 1
Ellipse: 0 < e < 1
Hyperbola: e > 1
NCERT Solutions for Conic Sections includes eccentricity, Directix, Matrix and other re
