Description 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 Product Description Mainly written for higher secondary level students, Concepts of Physics is a comprehensive book on the subject that is equally relied upon for gaining an edge by applicants appearing for competitive examinations held for securing admission to prestigious engineering and medical schools of the country. Physics being a vast subject that requires much clarity in understanding the basics before moving higher: this book in a very methodical way dissects each topic, gives examples, explains the derivation of laws and formulas in a easy to understand language. The book also has a large supplement of solved and unsolved problems, which help in better understanding of the concepts. After an introductory chapter, the book's second chapter is on Mathematics and its application in Physics. The third chapter focuses on Rest and Motion, the fourth discusses the concept of Forces, the fifth is about Newton’s Laws and friction is explained in detail in the sixth chapter. Work and Energy and Circular motion are explained in detail in the seventh and eighth chapter and there is also a separate chapter on Rotational Mechanics. Other topics covered include Of Simple Harmonic Motion, Fluid Mechanics and Gravitation in the succeeding eleventh, twelfth and the thirteenth chapter. Besides the book also has chapters on Mechanical Properties, Wave Motion, Sound Waves, Light Waves, Geometrical Objects, Optical Instruments, Dispersion and Photometry. As evident from the topics, the book pretty much covers anything and everything that is expected from senior secondary level student of of Physics. Those intending to compete nationally for IITs, Medical College admission tests and other competitions, would definitely find this book of immense help. About the author H.C. Verma, a nuclear experimental physicist, is an alumni of IIT Kanpur. A well know writer of scientific books, especially those related to fundamental physics, he is the author of Foundation Science - Physics For Class 9 that is used by most schools in the country. Born and brought up in Bihar, Professor Verma was not satisfied with the way Physics is taught at school, undergraduate and post-graduate levels in the country. This led him to write on the subject and the two volume Concepts of Physics has been very successful in enabling students of physics to understand complex subject matter because of the clarity and depth with which the author has dealt with it in these books. About the Author Harish Chandra Verma is a Nuclear Experimental Physicist and author. H C Verma wrote other books like Industrial Families in India, Foundation Science: Physics For Class 9, Dominion Status vs Complete Independence etc. H C Verma got his Doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He went on to work as a lecturer and reader at the Patna University. As a physicist, his chief areas of interest are in Materials Applications, Condensed Matter and also on Earth Science related issues like extinction boundaries and meteorites. At present he is working on a book on Electromechanics. Features & details Product Information Publisher Bharati Bhawan Publication date 5 Jul 2015 Language English
