ABOUT THE BOOK
This custom version of one of the world's most successful and popular book combines the Resnick, Halliday and Walker approach to physics with IIT-JEE entrance requirements. The readers can rely on it not only for its clear and accurate presentation of basic concepts, but also for its ability to demonstrate the power of physics in explaining the world around us. The topics of IIT-JEE covered by this volume are:
Electricity and Magnetism
Optics
Modern Physics The text has been rearranged as per the IIT-JEE syllabus. Many small topics have been included in the original chapters to make the coverage more complete as per IIT-JEE syllabus. Certain sections have been simplified for easy understanding. A new chapter on Conductors Conductors has has been added and Geometrical Optics has Optics has been divided into two– Geometrical Optics: Reflection and Reflection and Geometrical Optics: Refraction.
A number of of ad addit itio ion nal pro prob ble lem ms an and solv lve ed example les s have been in inc clu lud ded to cover all all re requir ire ements of IIT IIT-J -JE EE examin ina ati tio on. Th The book offers a unique problem-solving technique: 4Cs (Conceptualize, ( Conceptualize, Classify, Compute and Conclude), Conclude), which guides students towards stepwise problem-solving. The highlight of this version is version is the new end-of-chapter material containing all question types as per IIT-JEE pattern: Reasoning type, Multiple-choice questions and Problems. Problems. For interested students who wish to enhance their problem-solving skills further, Additional Problems have Problems have also been provided. What's more, all Answers Answers are are provided at the end of each chapter!
The topics covered in the first volume are: • Gen Gener eral al Physic Physicss • Me Mech chan anci cics cs • The Therma rmall Physic Physicss It has been adapted by an expert IIT-JEE teacher Mr. Amit Gupta.
