One of the major factors in scoring good marks in Physics is the kind of books you get your hands on while preparing for JEE Main. Aspirants need to prepare this section of the exam from the best books for JEE Main. JEE Main Topper and Shiksha expert Aman Goel says, "Sometimes physics can get tougher especially when the questions start getting more and more conceptual. In physics, complexity also increases when concepts of two chapters start getting mixed in a single question. Chapters like electrodynamics are often mixed with gravitation and this causes deadly questions which become too hard to comprehend. It is a subject that is feared by a lot of JEE aspirants and a large number of aspirants give up on physics very soon. Due to the same reason, it is really important to know the difficulty level and weightage of the various topics".
