Over the years, students appearing for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) have banked on conventional methods and shortcuts
provided by books to crack the examination. However, the paper-setting patterns during the recent years have made it clear that only
conventional techniques arc not enough as most of the questions are based on concepts rather than on just formulae.
It is necessary for students appearing for JEE to gain a thorough knowledge and understanding of the concepts, and this book
helps students in acquiring the same. This book uses a right mix of fundamental principles and concepts, illustrations which highlight
the application of these concepts, and exercises for practice. It is designed to help students to get an all-round grasp of the subject
so as to be able to make its useful application in all its contexts.
The objective of the book is to help students develop their problem-solving skills/accuracy, the ability to reach the crux of the
matter, and the speed to get answers in limited time.
It is imperative to note that this book would be as profound and useful as you want it to be. Therefore, in order to get maximum
benefit from this book, we recommend the following study plan for each chapter:
Step 1: Go through the entire opening discussion about the fundamentals and concepts.
Step 2: After learning the theory/concept, follow the illustrative examples to get an understanding of the theory/concept.
Step 3: Attempt in-text concept application exercises. This will ensure your understanding and implementation of concepts
and formulae.
Step 4: Move to the section that lists solved problems. This will help better your understanding of the chapter theory.
Step 5: Finally, there are many exercises/problems to try your hands on. These problems warrant the recall of all the formulae
and concepts involved. Archives is a collection of solved problems from previous years’ examinations, which will
help students understand the trend(s) behind JEE.
The purpose of this book is to help you actually understand what you are doing, rather than blindly applying memorized
techniques. It is recommended that you solve the problems given in the book by yourself, without the help of the solution at the end
of the section. The idea is that if you discover something on your own, you will remember it better than if you had simply seen the a
nswer. So, refer to the solution only if you fail to solve a problem after several attempts or when you have already found a solution a
nd want to check your approach.
Although this book h as been written on the basis of the syllabus prescribed for JEE, it will prove useful also to the student
s preparing for other entrance examinations since the content of physics remains almost the same for all examinations.
We hope this book helps you immensely in acquiring the kind of acumen that is vital for students appearing for JEE. Since we
believe that there is always scope for improvement, any suggestions are welcome.
You have taken the first step. A bright future beckons you. We wish you success in this endeavour and in life.
