1. Orientation for class XI Physics

2. The topics that are covered in class XI
Volume I
1. Units and Dimensions
2. One dimensional motion
3. Two dimensional motion
4. Laws of motion
5. Work, energy and power
6. Rotational motion
7. Gravitation

3. Volume II
8. Properties of matter (solids and fluids)
9. Thermal properties of matter
10. Kinetic theory of gases
11. Thermodynamics
12. Oscillations & Wave motion

4. The topics that are covered in class XII
Volume I & II (Unitwise)
1. Electrostatics
2. Current electricity
3. Magnetic effect of electric current & magnetism
4. EMI & Alternating current
5. Electromagnetic waves
6. Optics
7. Dual Nature of light
8. Atoms & Nuclei
9. Electronic Devies
10. Communication system

5. Theory 70 Practical 30 In terms of evaluation,
The theory part carries a weightage of 70 marks
The practical part carries a weightage of 30 marks
Theory 70
Practical 30

6. The practical again has 4 parts Experiment
Activity (demonstration only)
Project
Viva
The evaluation is done at the end of each term.

7. Basic concepts of mechanics, gravitation, waves, light, magnetism and electricity are dealt in secondary level. But senior secondary curriculum covers almost all the branches of fundamental physics.

8. An inclination towards mathematics, language skills to comprehend scientific terms and a scientific bent of mind are needed to cope the course content.

9. Various mathematical tools such as graphical representation, calculus, vectors, logarithm, trigonometry etc. will be used to derive/prove/support various concepts in physics. Thorough knowledge in these concepts are required

10. So the initial days of class XI orientation will be given on the following concepts:
Vector addition/ subtraction
Scalar and vector multiplication,
Differential and integral calculus. This will help the students to understand the concepts well.

11. Class X
Class XI
In class X most of the time the evaluation is based on remembering, understanding and application type questions. The numericals are very less.
In class XI & XII unless a sustained effort is made to solve all the numericals, answering the numericals may be difficult. Certain concepts need regular revision to comprehend in a better way.
Rote learning may not give you a good result.

12. Class X
Class XI
The course content of science is very less.
The course content is very vast. What you have studied as a single subject is now divided into individual subjects as Physics/ chemistry/ Biology.
Each subject has two volumes of text book

13. Class X
Class XI
The syllabus is divided into two terms and you need to study only 50% of the syllabus for each term.
The evaluation is spread throughout the year with an annual exam. The entire course is evaluated in the annual exam.
Remembering type 10% Application type 30%
Understanding type 30% HOTS 14%
Evaluation type 16%

14. Question paper pattern for SA1 and Annual exam is same as that of 12th board paper
5(VSAQ) x 1 Mark = 5 Marks
5(SAQ I) x 2 Marks = 10 Marks
12(SAQ II) x 3 Marks = 36 Marks
1(VBQ) x 4 Marks = 4 Marks
3(LAQ) x 5Marks = 15 Marks
Total = 70 Marks

15. Text book & Reference Books:
1. NCERT Text Book –Physics Part I & 2
2. New simplified physics by
S.L. Arora (2 volumes for XI class)
3. Concepts of physics- H.C.Verma
4. Comprehensive physics
Part 1 and 2
5. Physics for competition vol 1 &2 (Batilal)

16. Competitive Exams
The following prestigious competitive exams are meant for the students of senior secondary level
1. NSEP/C/B/A – IAPT
2. PRL scholarship
3. KVPY
