How to master Physics

If you are a student then before attending your class do preparations for your lecture which means go through your text book , read the chapter and prepare for your forthcoming lecture.

Try never to miss your lectures and listen them carefully

Since you have read your lessen before you can easily clear your doubts and have discussion with your faculty.

Never forget to take your notes during your lecture.

After going home prepare a fresh copy of your notes and short notes of your lessen so that you can revise them easily while studying for your exams. Yes never forget to jot down your doubts and their possible explainations.

After compleating your chapter do not forget to practice related problems as they help you to clear your concepts. The more problems you solve the more comfortable you get with the subject.

Revise your lessen regularly so that it becomes impossible for you to forget the chapter.

polarisation and polarised light

Light wave is said to be polarised when the vibration of its electric vector are confined to one direction in plane perpandicular to its direction of propagation.

When light is polarised its intensity reduces to 50% of the intensity of unpolarised lighy.

when we pass a polarised light through a polaroid and we rotate the polaroid about the direction of propagation of the light then the intensity of light changes as per the Law of Malus where intensity I=I₀cos²θ

Polarised light can be obtained by reflection , refraction and scattering of unpolarised light.

Polarisation of light can only be detected by a polaroid.

Forces on charged particles in electric and magnetic field

Things you should know


(A) If a charged particle is following a circular path of radius r under the influence of perpendicular electric field for example in case of electron moving around nucleus in an atom then,

(1) the force on the charged particle is inversely proportional to the square of radius of the circular path F α 1/r2

(2) The velocity of charged particle is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of circular path v α 1/√r

(3) The square of time period of revolution the charged particle is directly proportional to the cube of radius of circular path T2α r3

(B) When a charge particle is projected perpendicular to the magnetic field,

(1) It’s path is circular in plane perpendicular to the plane of magnetic field and direction of motion of charged particle.

(2) The speed and kinetic energy of particle would remain constant

(3) The velocity of charged particle only changes its direction not its magnitude

(4) The force acting on charged particle is independent of the radius of circular path but depends on the velocity of charged particle.

(5) The time period of revolution is independent of both velocity and radius of circular path of the particle.

(C) The net magnetic force on a current loop in a uniform magnetic field is zero but torque may or may not be zero

(D) The net magnetic force on a current loop in a non-uniform magnetic field is not zero but torque may or may not be zero.

(E) The torque on the coil is maximum , when the coil is suspended in the radial magnetic field.
