When you start preparing for JEE mains, the one book which is most recommended by the professionals is the “Concepts of Physics Vol 1 & 2” by Prof. HC Verma. HC Verma is the most accurate and comprehensive textbook for your preparation of Physics Board exams as well as engineering entrance exam.
About the book
The main reason why this book is considered as the Holy Grail for physics preparation is the remarkable way the concepts have been explained. The book has been followed by the engineering aspirants from ages and continues to do so.
The language used in explaining the concepts is very easy to understand and grasp. The explanation is provided in such a way that even a below average student can understand the concepts and can easily solve the diverse questions with ease.
Dr. HC Verma’s Concepts of Physics comes in two volumes 1 & 2 which cover all the concepts of higher secondary education of physics and clearly teaches the ABC’s of physics in a very easy to go manner. The book is published by Bharti Bhavan.
The first volumes covers Optics, mechanics, inertia and waves whereas the second volume covers the topics such as thermodynamics, modern physics and electromagnetism.
The book has been receiving an overwhelming response from all over the country since decades due to its simple language, good number of problems, wide coverage and absolutely no errors. The aim is to make the physics an interesting subject and also making students fall in love with physics.
All the concepts have been explained from scratch believing that students have no prior knowledge of the same. This is the most recommended book for the preparation of IIT/JEE mains as it help in logic and concept building.
Something about the author
Prof. Harish Chandra Verma was born in 1952 in a village in Bihar. He is one of the finest experimental physicists in nuclear physics. He had served as professor in Indian institute of Technology, Kanpur till he retired in 1994.
He has authored many books but his finest collection of books included Concepts of Physics vol 1 and 2. As per his website, professor is working over a new book for undergraduate level for electrostatics, magnetostatics and electrodynamics.
Why HC Verma?
Physics is an endless subject and having all the concepts compiled in one single book is a challenging task. So, Concepts of Physics is just like a complete solution for your physics needs. A concept of Physics by HC Verma has been specifically tailored to meet the requirements of students appearing for higher secondary exams as well as Joint Entrance Exam (subjective).
The book is supplemented with a good number of solved and unsolved problems mostly covering the numerical part.
We would suggest having a solid understanding of calculus before starting off with HC Verma as most of the problems require the concepts of derivation. Starting with some basic introduction and mathematics, the book heads over to the main chapter which is Rest and Motion i.e. kinematics.
In the fourth chapter some interesting concepts related with Force are unfolded. The fifth and sixth chapters are very important from examination points of view which are Newton’s Laws of Motion and Friction respectively.
Next in line comes concepts of circular motion; Work, power and Energy; rotational mechanics, gravitation, simple harmonics and fluid mechanics. The last chapters deal with wave and ray optics.
The second volume of Concepts of Physics cover the electromagnetics, thermodynamics, Properties of matter, induction, thumb rules, Semiconductors, theory of relativity, spectrum, Nuclear physics and atomic models.
Why this book is considered as the best?
- The language used in the book is simple, easy to go and lucid.
- There is a vivid coherency in the flow of concepts and ideas
- The book co-relates the topics which are scattered and follows a channelized approach towards any concept.
- It is really easy and effective than other authors such as I.E.Irodov.
- It explains the concepts by taking real life examples. It does not talk about the things which the students haven’t seen.
- The book strikes a perfect balance between the quality and quantity of problems.
- Offers very conceptual Multiple choice questions.
- All the problems asked are of varying difficulty level but surely are interrelated. Concepts learned from the previous unit or topics can easily be applied in the current topic.
