Selecting text book for Physics: Advice

Many students ask to me "From which book should I study Physics?". The wording of their Question gives an impression to me that the availability of great number text books in Physics for IIT-JEE preparation has totally confused them.

My advice to all such students is very simple and straight forward: read basic concepts from any one good book. Do not read any topic from too many books. Start a topic or a chapter by reading it from NCERT first.Solve all problems contained in NCERT.Then do some problems of the type asked in entrance exams from that topic. After this, you will be able to judge for yourself if reading that topic/chapter from some advanced book is necessary or not. If you feel that what you learnt from NCERT is not enough to solve questions in competitive exams then (and only then !) read that topic from some other advanced book.For this you can use "Resnik and Halliday's book". Other books can also be used according to your personal preference.

Megha,
study all the topics given in the syllabus.Give importance to understanding the concepts thoroughly. Practice regular problem solving. Revise regularly.

Aswin G,
in New Pattern has only questions, whereas Objective Approach has both theory and questions.

R. Sinha writes: Thanks a lot Sir for doing the job of imparting counsel to kids for their queries. I have some doubt regarding a math concept. In many problems in Coordinate Geometry, one comes across a sentence like "The line makes an angle of 30 degrees with y-axis" .As we know angles measured from x-axis in anticlockwise direction is, by definition, taken as positive. What is the convention of taking as positive angles measured from y-axis-Anticlockwise or Clockwise? Should we consider two cases for above case-positive 30 degrees clockwise and positive 30 degrees anticlockwise? I have found all 3 cases in books. One considers anticlockwise as positive, another considers clockwise as positive. a third takes into account both cases. I'm a bit confused. Please help,Sir. Thanks

J.P.Sinha jyopra Sunday, September 26, 2010 5:17:46 PM

Reply from J.P.Sinha:

R Sinha,
there is no standard convention. The angle that we take depends upon the context. Sometimes you have to consider the two cases and sometimes only one case is applicable. If I was teaching you personally I would have demonstrated it with examples.Ask your teachers for further clarifications.

Zaki Anwer,
your books are OK. But use IIT-Maths by R.D.Sharma instead of the normal maths book.

Anonymous,
both abc and Pradeep are OK.Use any one according to your preference. Read my article on board exam for more hints.

You should study the theory of physics from your school text book. And for practicing problem solving you may use Objective Approach to Physics-Arihant Prakashan.

Gaurav,
yes, TMH-maths and Arihant-New Pattern are good books.

Aditya,
if you start from now and study sincerely under the guidance of good teachers then you will definitely complete the entire syllabus in 9 months time.So do not waste any more time and start from now.

Anonymous,
for getting high rank in AIEEE you need to have good knowledge of theory and you should have a good problem solving skill in you. If you develop these two by doing any book that you like doing then it does not matter which book you are studying from.So use the book that you enjoy reading. Yes you must practice problem solving from books like Objective Approach-Arihant.

I think if you have more than 60% marks in PCM then you can appear in IIT-JEE. But you should clarify with IIT office or prospectus.

Jeevraj,
above books are good.But use only one or two books in each subject.
