5 Tips to crack IITJEE Examination

TIP1: Mastering the basics and Developing Problem Solving skills IITJEE papers generally test the basic concept of the subject.So basic concept should be very clear. Concentrate on the basic concepts.Strengthen your fundamentals.Master the basic of each chapter. Do many times so that you know the concept by heart.NCERT books are good for the concept.So first should be to study the NCERT books and familarize all the concepts.HC verma is also good for concept Once you are through with the concepts,you need to develop problem solving skills.Pick one good physics and start solving the questions. Initially problems of low level should be tried and only when you have mastered them,you should go on to solving intricate JEE type problems. ALways give full attempt the question before seeing the solutions.Try to recall all the formula,concepts and try the solve the problems. Dont take too many Physics books .One or two should be sufficent. Try to visualize the problem by drawing the diagram.Free body diagram helps in solving mechanics problem TIP2:Order of the Units IITJEE paper consists of questions from various units.Some units are easiar to solve while some are tough to attempt.So Students should try the following order for mastering the units It is quite simple to master this topics.JEE paper always have few question from it.So easy to score those. This is also simple. THis too is simple to master.JEE always have one or two question from it Similarly for this. Coloumbs law,Potential,electric question are simple to attempt.

Thermodynamics Hydrostatics and Bernoulli's Principle Waves in Elastic Media Interference Beats and Doppler's Effect Electrostatics Electromagnetic Induction Lorentz' Forces Circuits with Capacitors Modern Physics (full) Collisions Rotational Motion

Simple question from it. Easier to attempt with some practice and method to solve the circuits Always have some question from it.Easiar to master JEE paper have difficult question from this but easiar then below topics.It should attempted in the last bit tough.It should attempted in the last

bit tough.It should attempted in the Gravitation, Elasticity, last S.H.M.

TIP3:Mocks test and Time Management Once you are through with the course.You should start taking Mock test.This will give you the feel of the examination. Try to give as many as possible.Judge your speed and accuracy.You wont feel tensed and stressed on the examination day this way. Develop an habbit of judgeing the question .You should be able to judge the question whether you should go for it or not. This is very important thing.There will always few question in JEE paper which will be very tough.If you put your head in those question,you will waste your time and you will not any thing.SO it is important to judge the question.You should never attempt any question which you dont know head and tail of it. Be sure your units are correct.It will many times prevent making mistakes.

Whenever you get any numerical answer,Judge the answer.Does the number look practical Try to Break the problems into manageable pieces

Master Time Management Skills Once the result have been evaluated,check the answer sheet for the mistakes TIP4:Short Notes and Revision Make shorts notes for last revision before examination.Those should contains all the important formule which will help you in solving the problems fast. Plan your schedule for your revision and exercise. Start concentration on the topics that you have covered rather wasting time on new topics particularly when exam is just few days ahead. TIP5:Examination Preperation Enter the examination in a positive mood to crack the test. Prepare all the stationeries before hand. Stay relax. A calm mind works better Be very careful while reading the instructions,you might know the answer,but you fill it incorrectly so you will lose even what you know. It is not important to attempt many question.You aim should be do the question correct.This way you will avoid negative marks. You should reach the test centre at least half an hour before the exam.So that you can relax.

Before starting doing the IITJEE paper Step 1: Take a quick glance of the paper so that you are aware what all type of question and what all topics are given.It should be done in first three minutes Step 2:Search for questions of topics which is strong to you.Read the questions of the topics and if you have done similar type of question and you are confident about it.Attempt that question.Do this for

all the topics u are strong in You will always find few questions in this catogory Step 3:Now try to find the questions in your strong topics which looks easy and solvable to you .

Tips to solve Mechanics Problems

Vector Mathematics You will come across vectors in physics problem very frequently.So it is must to know to solve the vector mathematics in short time.And Making sure you have done in correctly.You will find vectors in every module be it mechanics ,electrostatics,magentics Addition or Substraction When you need to add or substract two or more vectors, you can use following procedure Select a coordinate system that is convenient. (Try to reduce the number of components you need to find by choosing axes that line up with as many vectors as possible.) Draw a labeled sketch of the vectors described in the problem. Find the x and y components of all vectors Compute the resultants in x and y direction If necessary, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant vector and select a suitable trigonometric function to find the angle that the resultant vector makes with the x axis.

Products When u need to perform scalar or vector product.It is nice to following procedure Select a coordinate system(x,y,z) that is convenient. (Try to reduce the number of components you need to find by choosing axes that line up with as many vectors as possible.).Use i,j,k as the unit vector across x,y,z axis. Draw a labeled sketch of the vectors described in the problem. Express all the vector in form in i,j,k forms Perform the multipication

Motion in a Two dimensional Plane Select a coordinate system and resolve the initial velocity vector into x and y components. Find out acceleration in each direction and solve in each direction according to one rectilinear motion equation. if the acceleration is in vertical direction only.Follow the techniques for solving constantvelocity problems to analyze the horizontal motion. Follow the techniques for solving constant-acceleration problems to analyze the vertical motion. The x and y motions share the same time of flight t. There might be question about trajortory in the Problem ,find out the motion in x and y direction with respect to time from previous point.And then find the value of t from one equation and then put that value in another equation to find out the equation of trajactory

Motion in a Three dimensional Plane Select a coordinate system and resolve the initial velocity vector into x , y and z components Find out acceleration in each direction and solve in each direction according to one rectilinear motion equation.

Uniform Circular Motion Draw a simple, neat diagram of the system. Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully Find out the force acting on the body.The resultant force should provide the required centrepatal required for Circular motion Centrepatal force=mv /R will give the velotiy accordingly.

Newtons Law Problem Draw a neat diagram of the system. Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully Isolate the body whose motion is to be analyzed. Draw a free-body diagram for this body. For systems containing more than one objects, draw separate free-body diagrams for each objects This way there will not any confusion about the force acting on each object.Newtons Third law will help in obtaining the action reaction pair. Do not include in the free-body diagram forces exerted by the object on its surroundings. Establish convenient coordinate axes for each objects and find the components of the forces along these axes. Use pseudo force if viewing from the non intertial frame of refrence Apply Newton's second law, F= ma, in component form. Solve the component equations for the unknowns. Remember that you must have as many independent equations as you have unknowns to obtain acomplete solution. Make sure your results are consistent with the free-body diagram. If the object are attached to each others by the strings,then make use of constraints theory to find out the acceleration equation between the objects

Work And Energy Choose your frame of refrence.KE will differ in each refrence frame while PE will remains constant

Define your system, which may include two or more interacting particles, as well as springs or other systems in which elastic potential energy can bestored. Choose the initial and final points. Identify zero points for potential energy (both gravitational and spring). If there is more than one conservative force, write an expression for the potential energy associated with each force. Determine whether any nonconservative forces are present. Remember that if friction or air resistance is present, mechanical energy is not conserved. Determine whether any external forces are present. Remember that external forces are present, mechanical energy is not conserved. If mechanical energy is conserved, you can write the total initial energy at some point Ei=PEi+KEi. Then, write an expression for the total final energy at the final point that is of interest Ef=PEf+KEf. Because mechanical energy is conserved, you can equate the two total energies and solve for the quantity that is unknown. If frictional forces are present (and thus mechanical energy is not conserved), first write expressions for the total initial and total final energies. In this case, the difference between the total final mechanical energy and the total initial mechanical energy equals the change in mechanical energy in the system due to friction. If external forces are present (and thus mechanical energy is not conserved), first write expressions for the total initial and total final energies. In this case, the difference between the total final mechanical energy and the total initial mechanical energy equals the change in mechanical energy in the system due to external force. If both external forces and frictional forces are present (and thus mechanical energy is not conserved), first write expressions for the total initial and total final energies. In this case, the difference between the total final mechanical energy and the total initial mechanical energy equals the change in mechanical energy in the system due to external force and friction

Momentum and Collisions Choose your frame of refrence Set up a coordinate system and define your velocities with respect to that system.It is usually convenient to have the x axis coincide with one of the initial velocities. In your sketch of the coordinate system, draw and label all velocity vectors and include all the given information. Write expressions for the x and y components of the momentum of each object before and after the collision. Remember to include the appropriate signs for the components of the velocity vectors. Write expressions for the total momentum in the x direction before and after the collision and equate the two. Repeat this procedure for the total momentum in the y direction. These steps follow from the fact that, because the momentum of the system is conserved in any collision(law on conservation of linear momentum), the total momentum along any direction must also be constant. Remember, it is the momentum of the system that is constant, not the momentan of the individual objects.

If the collision is inelastic, kinetic energy is not conserved, and additional information is probably required. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, the final velocities of the two objects are equal. Solve the momentum equations for the unknown quantities. If the collision is elastic, kinetic energy is conserved, and you can equate the total kinetic energy before the collision to the total kinetic energy after the collision to get an additional relationship between the velocities.And you can solve the energy and momentum equation to find out the find velocities. Centre of mass can be useful feature in solving the momentum problems

Body in Static equilibrium Draw a neat diagram of the system. Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully

Isolate the object being analyzed. Draw a free-body diagram and then show and label all external forces acting on the object, indicating where those forces are applied.This way there will not any confusion about the force acting on each object.Newtons Third law will help in obtaining the action reaction pair. Do not include forces exerted by the object on its surroundings.(For systems that contain more than one object, draw a separate free-body diagram for each one.) Try to guess the correct direction for each force. If the direction you select leads to a negative force, do not be alarmed; this merely means that the direction of the force is the opposite of what you guessed. Establish a convenient coordinate system for the object and find the components of the forces along the two axes. Then apply the first condition for equilibrium. Remember to keep track of the signs of all force components. Choose a convenient axis for calculating the net torque on the object. Remember that the choice of origin for the torque equation is arbitrary; therefore, choose an origin that simplifies your calculation as much as possible. Note that a force that acts along a line passing through the point chosen as the origin gives zero contribution to the torque and thus can be ignored.

Rotational Motion Draw a neat diagram of the system. Calculate the moment of Inertia of the system about the rotational axis Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully Find out the torque for each of the forces Find out the angular acceleration Law of conservation of angular momentum helps in many cases which states if no torque ,angular momentum remains conserved

Tips to solve Heat and Thermodynamics IITJEE questions

Net Heat flow at a junction is Zero Internal Energy does not depend on the path Internal Energy in a cyclic Process is zero Workdone is given by the area enclosed by the process on the PV diagram Always make sure you Heat(Q) ,Internal Energy(U) & Work(W) with correct sign in equation U=Q-W W is positive when work done by the system(Increase in Volume) W is negative when work done on the system(Decrease in Volume) Q is positive when heat is given to the system Q is negative when heat is taken from the system Change in Internal energy is zero for a cycle So Net Heat=Net Work done All Bodies emit radiation at all temperature.Radiation emmited are of diffrent frequencies.Frequency at which most radiation are emmitted are directly proportional to Temperature of the body. Isothermal Process Pv=constant VdP+PdV=0 -VdP/dV=P Now Bulk Modulus= -VdP/dV So Bi=P Adiabatic Process PVy=constant VydP+PyVy-1dV=0 So Ba=yP if A sold sphere and a hollow sphere having same material and size are heated to same temperature and allowed to cool in the same surrounding ,it has been found that hollow sphere cools faster than solid sphere

Tips to Score good in Electricity

1. The force with which two charges interact is not changed by the presence of the other charges. 2. Net force on any charge F=F1+F2+F3+F4+..... 3. Electric field lines extend away from the positive charge and towards thge negative charges. 4. Electric field produces the force so if a charge q is placed in the electric field E the force experience by the charge is F=qE 5. Principle of superposition also applies to electric field so E=E1+E2+E3+E4+...... 6. E is the electric field present due to all charges in the system not just the charge inside in the Gauss law. 7. Flux crossing a closed surface does not depend on the shapes and size of gaussian surface. 8. E.dl over closed path is zero. 9. Electric Potential is scalar quantity. 10. Potential at point due to system of charges will be obtained by the summation of potential of each charge at that point V=V1+V2+V3+V4 11. Electric forces are conservative force so workdone by the electric force between two point is independent of the path taken V2-V1=- E.dr In cartesion coordinates system E=Exi+Eyj+Ezk dr=dxi+dyj+dzk Now dV=-E.dr So,dv=-(Exdx+Eydy+Ezdz) So, Ex=V/x Similary, Ey=V/y and Ez=V/z Also E=-[(V/x)i+(V/y)j+(V/z)k] 12. Surface where electric potential is same everywhere is call equipotential surface 13. Electric field components parallel to equipotential surface is always zero

14. Electric potential in the spherical charge conductor is Q/4R where R is the radius of the shell and the potential is same everywhere in the conductor 15. Conductor surface is a equipotential surface 16. E=0 inside the conducter 17. All charge resides on the outer surface of the conducter 18. Electric at the surface is Perpendicular to the surface

Some userful Formula

Electric field intensity due to point charge 2 E=(KQ/r )r Where r is the distance from the point charge and r is the unit vector along the direction from source to point. Electric field for the Uniformly charged ring 2 2 3/2 E=KQx/(r +x ) Where x is the distance from the center of the ring At x=0 E=0 Electric Field due to uniformly charged disc 2 2 E=(/20)(1- x/(R +x ) =Surface charge density of the disc At x=0 E=/20 Electric Field Intensity due to Infinite sheet of the charge E=/20 =Surface charge density of the sheet

Things to remember about Simple Harmonic Motion

Simple harmonic motion is simplest form of oscillatory motion SHM is a kind of motion in which the restoring force is propotional to the displacement from the mean position and opposes its increase.Mathematically restoring force is F=-Kx K=Force constant x=displacement of the system from its mean or equilibrium position Diffrential Equation of SHM is 2 2 2 d x/dt + x=0 S olutions of this equation can both be sine or cosine functions .We conveniently choose x=Acos(t+) where A, and all are constants Quantity A is known as amplitude of SHM which is the magnitude of maximum value of displacement on either sides from the equilibrium position Time period (T) of SHM the time during which oscillation repeats itself i.e, repeats its one cycle of motion and it is given by T=2/ where is the angular frequency Frequency of the SHM is the number of the complete oscillation per unit time i.e, frequency is reciprocal of the time period f=1/T Thus angular frequncy =2f Total energy remains constant in a SHM.So you can find the energy at any position and differentiate it to find the out the frequency Problem of SHM are basically to find out the timeperiod.So the concenteration should be on getting the net restoring force The basic approach to solve such problem is 1. Consider the system is displaced from equilibrium position 2. Now consider all the forces acting on the system in displaced position 3. find the restore force which comes out to be in the form 4.F=-kx

Things to remember about Waves

Transverse waves are such waves where the displacements or oscillations are perpandicular to the direction of propagation of wave. Longitudinal waves are those waves in which displacement or oscillations in medium are parallel to the direction of propagation of wave for example sound waves. At any time t , displacement y of the particle from it's equilibrium position as a function of the coordinate x of the particle is y(x,t)=A sin(t-kx) where, A is the amplitude of the wave k is the wave number

is angular frequency of the wave and (t-kx) is the phase. Wavelength and wave number k are related by the relation k=2/ Time period T and frequency f of the wave are related to by /2 = f = 1/T speed of the wave is given by v = /k = /T = f Principle of superposition: When two or more waves traverse thrugh the same medium,the displacement of any particle of the medium is the sum of the displacement that the individual waves would give it. y=yi(x,t)

The interference of two identical waves moving in opposite directions produces standing waves. For a string with fixed ends standing wave is given by y(x,t)=[2Acos(kx)]sin(t) above equation does not represent travelling wave since it does not have characterstic form involving (t-kx) or (t+kx) in the argument of trignometric function. In standing waves amplitude of waves is different at different points i.e., at nodes amplitude is zero and at antinodes amplitude is maximumwhich is equal to sum of amplitudes of constituting waves. At intermediate points amplitude of wave varies between these two limits of maxima and minima
