Preface
I am very thankful to all those readers who gave warm welcome to Mechanics-l & II
and Electricity & Magnetism ~ I & II. These books have got whelming response to the
regular demand of the students which compelled me to complete this volume in very
short span of time. "Heat and Thermodynamics" is one of the most scoring topic in the
IIT.JEE syllabus.
This book will help the students in building analytical and quantitative skills,
addressing key misconceptions and developing confidence in problem solving.
I sincerely wish that this book will fulfill all the aspirations of the readers.
Although utmost full care has been taken to make the book free from error but some
errors inadvertently may creep in. Author and Publisher shall be highly obliged if
suggestions regarding improvement and errors are pointed out by readers. I am
indebted Neeraj Ii for providing me an opportunity to write a book of this
magnitude.
I am indebted to my father Sh. Bhavesh Mishra, my mother Smt. Priyamvada

Mishra, my wife Manjari, my sister Parul, my little kids Vrishank and Ira for giving
their valuable time which I utilized during the writing of this book and people of
Moradabad, who supported me throughout my career.
I am also thankful to Mr. T. Konda)a Rao, Mr. Abhishek Sinha (Ranchi), Mr.
Sunil Manohar, Mr. S.P. Sharma, Mr. Sudhir Sharma and Mr. P. Narendra Reddy
fortheir valuable suggestions in improving the book.
In the last, I also pay my sincere thanks to all the esteemed members of
Shri Balaji Publications in bringing out this book in the presentform.

~--- How to face the challenge?
Following are some doubts which arise in the mind of almost all the students
but may face them by taking some care.
1. / can not solve numerical because my concepts are notc1ear. In fact numerical
solving itselfis an exercise to learn concepts.
2. / can not study because I am in depression, I fell into it because 1 was not
studying! Depression is escape mechanism of people afraid offacing failures.
Failure is integral part oflearning.
I understand everything in class but can not solve on my own. WRITI NG work
is vital. It is a multiple activity. initially idea comes in mind then we put into
language to express it, we are focussed in hand eye coordination, eyes create
visual impression on brain which is recorded there. WRITING WORKS ARE
EMBOSSED ON BRAIN LIKE CARVINGS OF AJANTA CAVES.
4. In exams my brain goes blank, but I can crack them at home. Home attempt is
your second attempt! you are contemplating about it while home back. You
do nDt behave differently in exam YDUreplicate your instincts. Once a fast
bDwler was bDwling no balls. His cDach placed a stump Dn crease, in fear Df
injury he got it right. CONCEPTUALIZATION, WRITING EQUATION,
SOLVING, THEN PROBLEM GETS TO CONCLUSION!
S. I am an average student. It is a ratiDnalizatiDn used by peDple afraid of hard

wDrk. In their reference frame Newton's first law applies "if I have a
misconceptiDn I will continue with it unless pushed by an external agent
even I will surround him in my web Df misconceptiDn yielding zero
resultant." AVERAGE IS NOT DUE TO CAPACITY LACUANE BUT DUE TO
LACKOF DETERMINATION TO SHED INERTNESS.
6. A famous cliche "I do not have luck in my favour" PRINCIPLE OF CAUSALITY:

CAUSE OF AN EVENT OCCURS IN TIME BEFORE OCCURRENCE OF THAT
EVENT i.e., cause Dccurs first then event Dccurs. SHINING OF LUCK IS NOT
AN INSTANTANEOUS EVENT IT IS PRECEDED BY RELENTLESS HARD
WORK. Sow a seed Dfaspiration in mind, water it with passion, dedication it
will bear fruit, luck can give you sweeter fruit .
www.puucho.com
Useful Tips I
1. Do not take study as a burden actually its a skill like singing and dancing. It
has to be honed by proper devotion and dedication.
2. Without strong sense of achievement you can't excel. Before entering the
competitive field strong counselling by parents is must. Majority do not
know what for they are here. No strategic planning, they behave like a tail
ender batting in frontof5teyn's bouncers.
3. Science is not a subject based on well laid down procedures or based on

learning some facts, it involves very intuitive and exploratory approach.
Unless their is desire and passion to learn you can not discover new ideas. It
requires patience and hard work, whose fruits may be tangible later on.
4. Some students realize very late that they are studying for acquiring skills and
honing them. Their is a feeling that they can ride at the back of instructor and
achieve excellence. Study comes as torturous exercise enforced on them and
theiris some mechanism that can take this burden of them.
• S. Science is not about gaining good marks, up to Xth by reading key points
good marks are achieved but beyond that only those survive who have
genuine interest in learning and exploring. Self study habit is must.
6. IF YOUWANT TO GAIN LEAD START EARLY.Majority of successful students

try to finish major portion elementary part of syllabus before they enter
Coaching Institute. Due to this their maturity level as compared to others is
more they get ample time to adjust with the fast pace. They are less
traumatized by the scientific matter handed over. For those who enter fresh
must be counselled to not get bullied by early starters but work harder
initially within first two months initial edge is neutralized.
7. Once a student lags behind due to some forced or unforced errors his mind
begins to play rationalization remarks like I am an average student, my mind
is not sharp enough, I have low IQ etc. These words are mechanisms used to
avoid hard work. These words are relative terms a person who has early start
may be intelligent relative to you.
Intelligence means cumulative result of hard work of previous years, that

hard work has eventually led to a development of instinct to crack things
easily.
