CONCEPTS OF PHYSICS PART 1 BY HC VERMA
Description
H C Verma s Concepts Of Physics is an all-inclusive book, which serves to detail out the ABC of physics in an intricate manner making it an ideal book for not only the higher secondary students, but also for those who are preparing for their competitive examinations.Physics as a subject is vast and to have all the concepts of Physics compiled in one book is indeed a boon to all students. The book has been tailored to meet the needs 10 + 2 or higher secondary students and for the students who are appearing for a competitive examination. It has everything a student would possibly need for their success in exams. The book comes supplemented with a large number of solved and unsolved problems. Numerical exercises inundate the book for a better understanding of the subject. The book starts with an Introduction to Physics and goes on to elucidate the concept of Physics and Mathematics in the second chapter. In the third chapter the author talks about Rest and Motion: Kinematics. In the fourth chapter he moves on to discuss the concept of Forces. Newton s Laws of Motion is elaborated in the fifth chapter and the theory of Friction is expanded in the sixth chapter. The seventh and eighth chapters feature discussion on Circular Motion and Work and Energy while the focus of the tenth chapter is on Rotational Mechanics. The details of Gravitation, Simple Harmonic Motion and Fluid Mechanics are developed in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth chapters. The fourteenth and fifteenth chapters explain Some Mechanical Properties of Matter and Wave Motion and Waves on a String. The sixteenth and seventeenth chapters focus on Sound Waves and Light Waves while the eighteenth chapter stresses on the Geometrical Optics. The nineteenth chapter elaborates on Optical Instruments and Dispersion and Spectra, Speed of Light and Photo metry is discussed in the twentieth, twenty-first and twenty-second chapter.
Review
This book is a gem for IIT JEE and AIEEE aspirants who have completed 10th standard.The concepts are given in a concise and in a format to make it very easy to grasp.The book has the concepts from 0 level so that we could recollect the topics that we have learnt in 8th / 9th and 10th.For those who're not familiar with HC Verma , he is working in the Dept of Physics IIT Kanpur.This book is highly recommended in the Bansal institute in Kota. --Siva Renganath Apr 11, 2012
This book is a wonder. If you want to have clear conceptions about physics,challenging numericals which boosts your thinking capability & if you are an engineering aspirant then this book is a must buy. It helped to analyse problems in much more logical way without over thinking it.So I recommend you to purchase this book. Another tip, don't read this book for theory because you have to be pretty strong in calculus to understand the derivations, for that use Resnick & Halliday or V.K Mehta. This book shows you how to apply physics in various problems. P.S. Don't refer to Ncert at first for learning, use it for revision for your school exams. --Pushan munshi Apr 27, 2013
The Best,period.Self study and this absolute gem by Dr.H.C.Verma help build your fundas in Physics like nothing else. This book stopped me from guffawing every time someone said "There are books that help gain you something new every time you read them".And there are very few! Whole generations of students including me owe their knowledge of this subject(and also the way they think) to this book. --KUNAL KAUSHIK Nov 17, 2011
