Most scoring topics in JEE Main Physics: Modern physics, Current electricity, Newton’s laws of motion

By Aman Goel

Physics is all about concepts and logics. 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 which is feared by a lot of JEE Main 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. Here you will get to know about the most scoring topics of JEE Main physics and the amount of effort that they require.

Greater effort but high scoring topics in Physics for JEE

There are topics which carry a good weightage and are high scoring but are on a little tricky side. These topics require you to understand concepts thoroughly and once that is done, you would be able to boost your score through these topics. A list of such topics is as follows:

Easier topics for JEE Physics which are high scoring too

There are certain topics of JEE Physics paper which don’t require much effort and are high scoring too. One must complete such topics definitely so that one can easily score more. These topics are generally more formula based and don’t require you to go very deep into the concepts. Here is a list of topics that belong to this category:

1. Modern physics
2. Current electricity
3. Newton’s laws of motion
4. Oscillations and sound
5. Heat and thermodynamics

The above chapters are asked more frequently and are not very tough too. They won’t take up a lot of your time and won’t be tough to comprehend as well. Preparing them from any coaching’s material or any standard book like DC Pandey or Cengage would suffice. You should still practice them sufficiently as the more you practice, the more easily you would be able to solve questions on them.

The main purpose of preparing these chapters well is that the questions from these topics will be done easily and quickly and that will save your time and you would get time to solve other lengthy questions more peacefully. Here are a few tips that will help you in preparing for such chapters:

• • Focus more on formulas and practice a lot.
  • Make short notes of all the formulas from such chapters and any theory points that you need to learn. Direct theory based questions too can come from chapters like modern physics.
  • Focus more on speed and accuracy when it comes to such topics.
  • Archives are a must and you must try to do them in a time-bound manner.
  • Be a bit more regular in their preparation. You could see the formula list every once in a while or do a 30 minute question sheet to recall the formulas and concepts of such topics.
  • While solving mock tests, try doing the easier questions towards the end so that you are confident at the end too.
  • Try different methods of solving the same question during the mock tests. This will help you in looking up alternate ways which lead you to the answer much more quickly.
