Thermal Physics... Hot topic in JEE

The topic mentioned in the heading is just too damn heavy for JEE - Yes, heavy in terms
of it's weightage in JEE.
To get a feel of how important it is, pick up the past year JEE papers. Each JEE paper
contains at least 5-10 problems from thermal physics. So better prepare it well.
Basics : This include the topics of thermal expansion, thermal stress etc. They are simple
topics and must be done if you have solved a few standard problems. The problems of
expansion involving liquids inside a container are important and easy. You may be asked to
measure the new length measured by the scale when scale and the object(whose length is
to be measured), both expand. Such problems are easy and interesting and must be done
in a single shot.
Heat Transfer : Slightly important topic. I remember there was a question regarding
calculation of equivalent thermal conductivity in JEE 2013. Although JEE mentions heat
conduction in one dimension, you still may try heat conduction through a cylinder (2
dimensions) and heat conduction through a sphere (3 dimensions) for Olympiads. Laws of
radiation and Newton's laws of cooling are important. You should learn the definitions of
emissivity/emmisive power/absorptivity/etc by heart. I remember I used to mix these
definitions. Pick up HC Verma and learn the definitions in that book. Kirchoff's law, Wein's
displacement law, Stefan's law etc are important and easy to grasp topics.

Thermodynamics : Here comes the big gun. This topic is extremely important because
having a grip on this will help you not only in physics but also in chemistry. Learn the
specific heat capacities of various gases at constant pressure and constant volume. They
won't be given in exam. Learn the definitions of various processes, most important one
being isotropic process. Solve a large number of problems from thermodynamics of ideal
gas. A word of caution here. Make sure that you don't mix up the physics and chemistry
conventions of First law of thermodynamics. They take work done as negative in chemistry
but not in physics.
Books : HC Verma, Arihant. These two books are more than enough.

combination of SHM and Adiabatic process. So better learn the formulas of Work done,
Heat and change in internal energy in all the processes.

Well...I think it's absolutely necessary. Still, OK. The eBook for Maths material from
Bansal Classes wasn't opening ; I've tried many times.
2. Theory-wise, is Class 11 and Class 12 NCERT are sufficient w.r.t. Physics & Chemistry
for JEE (Main) and What wud be the ideal source for revision thru solving problems to
really have good speed and better prep 4 Main ? Cause I've only 2 Weeks for it after
Boards. I am really concerned regarding the required speed as I feel Attempting even
75 - 80 QUES. out of 90 is Tough !!
3. Can u please tell me from where can I get IIT-B's PLANCESS Notebook+ (their latest

For practice, there are a number of revision packages available in the market. You can
buy any of them.
Make sure that you have covered NCERT completely. It's extremely important from

Aman Goel

It's awesome. It contains some brilliant questions on thermodynamics of an ideal gas.

PS : Irodov is the best book for "ALL" Jee chapters. The point is that you will have to
stick to syllabus otherwise you will end up wasting time. However, if you want to go
beyond the limits of syllabus (olympiads), then go ahead - most toppers do it (after
ensuring that things mentioned in syllabus have been completed perfectly)

rock_star1136 1 March 2014 at 00:00

Hi Aman, you have mentioned in almost all comments regarding Irodov that stick to syllabus,
but since I don't have a good teacher to guide me through, how will I come to know which
problems are in syllabus since I don't think I will myself be able to identify them as I will be
doing it for the first time.

I really don't know how to help you. JEE is on the head. This is something that is not
expected from a true JEE aspirant.
Sorry, I don't know how to help.
One last suggestion. Post your problem on Quora. There are other experts there who
will probably help you. The more opinions you get - the better

Hi aman...
How much should I score in the AITS of a reputed institute like resonance to secure a rank of
under 200 in jee?
What I mean to ask is that generally how much difference is there between cumulative %age of
aits and JEE?

For under 200 rank, you percentile should be above 99% (at least)

Jaivardhan's Blog 10 March 2014 at 02:31

Yeah but suppose I score 65% on average in AITS, how much will I score on "the
day"? Will it be less than that? If so, by how much percent(meaning 63 or 60 instead of
65% types)?

There is an advise that whenever you recommend a book to us please give a flipkart link or a

you did the theory and the second for practice
Also if I do theory from resnick halliday and practice from HCV and DC Pandey then will it
suffice
