Class 12 Physics

Class 12

1. Electromagnetism - There is an entire book on this chapter so there is no need of mentioning its importance. The later chapters i.e. alternating current and electromagnetic waves assume more importance in the AIIMS exam. For me the alternating current chapter was quite difficult to come by so I had to put in a lot of effort for that.

2. Optics - My FACORITE chapter. Hands down. This was the chapter I like the most. This doesn't mean that I want to be an Ophthalmologist.  I studied this chapter for almost a month and really attained a great level. I could solve these questions with quite ease. There is a concept that I believe in is that you start enjoying stuff that you are good at. And since I was good at it I started loving this chapter. And the more I liked it the better I got at it. (Positive Feedback).

3. Nuclear Physics - I loved this chapter as well. I had practiced enough that the calculations didn't seem lengthy and somehow I never (not never but rarely) committed silly mistakes. That's because  I always knew in what range my answer was going to come, and usually there was just one option within that range. I liked those questions which had variables and not numbers because I was bound to make some sort of calculation error. So I tried to solve with variables till the last step and then substitute them with the numbers.

4. Semiconductors and Communications - This is a real pain. I used to cry (metaphorically) when trying to solve this. I was just fascinated that these big circuits that we draw in our notebooks were actually tiny micron thick things in real life. But I still didn't get the concept then I don’t think I will ever get it. But that doesn’t mean that I stop practicing because questions will be there from this chapter and I have to get them right. So I just focused myself on the formulas and questions. I did read the theory as well for AIIMS. Communications chapter is not in NEET but is important for AIIMS. So I read the theory a lot of times to try and understand things. I don't think that I understood fully but at least I put in the effort.

The books that I used were.

1. DC Pandey (Arihant Publications)
2. HC Verma ( When I had too much of leisure time)
3. Dinesh Publications ( I still don’t know why I used this book)
4. Universal self scorer (great book for a basic level of questions and topic wise study)
