IIT-JEE Physics: Important topics and sub-topics

Marks wise break-up for the topics

Mechanics 27 per cent
Electricity and Magnetism 23 per cent
Modern Physics 14 per cent
Optics 12 per cent
Heat and thermodynamics 9 per cent
Waves and Sound 11 per cent
Measurements and Errors 4 per cent

Analysis of last year's question papers suggests that there is a hig probability of the following topics appearing:

  • Field, Capacitors - Electrostatics
  • Relative velocity, projectiles – Kinematics
  • Vernier calipers & Searls apparatus – Measurements
  • Heat transfer, Newton’s law of cooling – Thermal Physics
  • Surface tension, Viscosity – Properties
  • Resonance column, Organ pipes – Waves
  • Kirchoff’s Laws – Electric Current
  • Magnetic field due to current & Torque – Magnetism
  • Photoelectric Effect, X -rays – Modern Physics
  • AC circuit – EMI, AC
  • Young’s double slit experiment – optics
