This document provides an overview of the physics topics covered in JEE/MHCET 2014 for classes 11 and 12. It lists the main topics covered in each class, including physical world and measurement, kinematics, laws of motion, etc. for class 11 and electrostatics, current electricity, magnetic effects of current, etc. for class 12. It notes that the exam format and marking scheme remain unchanged, with 90 total questions across physics, chemistry and math, and each correct answer earning 4 marks while incorrect answers lose 1 mark. It provides some sample questions and worked solutions. Finally, it offers advice on exam preparation, including identifying theoretical vs numerical chapters, taking practice tests, choosing a good coaching institute, and recommended study

TOPICS in Physics for JEE

6. • No change in Pattern and
marking scheme.
• The format is the same with 90
questions in total and 30 questions
each for Physics, Chemistry and
Mathematics.
• Each correct answer gets 4 marks
• Each wrong answer gets -1 mark.

9. Simple
Questions

replies

10. 1. (x+5)/(x+5) = 1
(a) Always
(b) Not Always
(c) Only for Positive Numbers
(d) Only for Negative Numbers

11. Correct Answer is (b)
Not Always?????Why
Suppose x = - 5
We know that 0/0=absurd

12. 2. Sin θ X Cot θ = Cos θ
WE THINK
Sin θ X Cos θ = Cos θ
Sin θ
Now is it valid for θ =0

13. 1 Which of the following quantities have
unit, but not the dimensions.
(a) dielectric constant
(b) coefficient of viscosity
(c) plane angle
(d) refractive index

15. 2. A block of mass 10kg is resting on a
horizontal surface. A force of 50N is
applied on it. If coefficient of friction
between the block and the surface is
0.6. what will be the force of friction?
(g = 10 m/s2)
(a) Zero
(b) 50 N
(c) 60 N
(d) 40 N

16. CORRECT OPTION IS
(b) 50 N
fs = mgμ
fs = 10×10×0.6
fs = 60N
But applied force is 50N.
Hence, the block will not move.

3. A hemispherical bowl of radius R is
revolved around its vertical axis. A Light
weight sphere in it also revolves in it,
without sliping. The radius of the
hemispherical passing through the sphere
makes angle θ with the axis of rotation. The
angular velocity of the sphere is:
(a) (b)
(c) (d)

18. Solution:
Motion of the sphere is like motion of
conical pendulum.

24. •Identify theoretical
chapters
•Identify numerical
based chapters
•Take Practice test

25. • An other very important aspect of your
JEE/NEET preparation will be the coaching
institute
–FACULTY
–Delivery of Lecture
–Concept Understanding and doubt solving
session
–Periodic Test
–Evaluation of test
–Infrastructure

27. Full Portion Tests
Time Table
Time Allotment
Mistakes
Confidence

28. • Suggested Books For IIT-JEE/ NEET
–Physics by H.C. Verma
–Problems in Physics by I.E. Irodov
–Problems in Physics by Resnick and
Halliday
–ELECRICITY AND MAGNETISM by
Resnick and Halliday
–Circuits devices and systems by R.J.
Smith
