KEY FORMULAS YOU MUST MEMORISE:
Projectile: Range = v²sin2θ/g | Max height = v²sin²θ/2g
Circular: centripetal a = v²/r = ω²r | Tension at top: T = mv²/r - mg
Capacitors: Series: 1/C = Σ(1/Cᵢ) | Parallel: C = ΣCᵢ
Energy: U = ½CV² = Q²/2C
Ohm's law circuits: V = IR | P = I²R = V²/R
Kirchhoff: ΣI = 0 (junction) | ΣV = 0 (loop)
Lens formula: 1/v - 1/u = 1/f | Magnification: m = v/u
Photoelectric: KEmax = hf - φ | λ = h/p (de Broglie)
Bohr: rn = n²a₀ | En = -13.6/n² eV
Radioactivity: N = N₀e^(-λt) | T½ = 0.693/λRevision Notes
JEE MAIN: 20 questions (integer + MCQ), 100 marks, 30 min time budget
JEE ADVANCED: 2 papers, mixed question types (multi-correct, paragraph based, integer)
HIGH PRIORITY: Rotational mechanics | Electrostatics | Modern Physics | Optics
PROBLEM APPROACH: draw diagram → identify knowns → apply formula → check units
BOOKS: HC Verma Concepts of Physics (Vol 1 and 2) — MUST | DC Pandey for practice
Irodov Problems (optional, for JEE Advanced level)
