This is an introductory class in 12th physics where I will interact with students to know their learning requirement so that i can plan the tutorials accordingly .This is also an opportunity to know what the students expect from a tutor in on line learning plat form .
The broad syllabus covered in 12 physics are-
1. Electrostatics
- Charge and Coulomb’s Law: Understanding electric charge, conductors and insulators, and the force between charged objects.
- Electric Field: Concept of electric field, electric field due to a point charge, and field lines.
- Electric Potential: Definition of electric potential, potential due to a point charge, and equipotential surfaces.
- Capacitance: Definition of capacitance, capacitors in series and parallel, and energy stored in a capacitor.
2. Current Electricity
- Electric Current: Definition, measurement, and direction of current.
- Ohm’s Law: Relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
- Resistors and Resistor Networks: Series and parallel combinations of resistors.
- Kirchhoff’s Laws: Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL).
- Electrical Instruments: Working of ammeters, voltmeters, and multimeters.
3. Magnetism
- Magnetic Fields and Forces: Concept of magnetic fields, magnetic force on a moving charge, and on current-carrying conductors.
- Magnetic Field due to Currents: Magnetic field around a straight current-carrying conductor, solenoids, and toroids.
- Electromagnetic Induction: Faraday’s laws of induction, Lenz’s law, and applications like transformers and generators.
4. Optics
- Ray Optics: Reflection and refraction, mirrors and lenses, and optical instruments like microscopes and telescopes.
- Wave Optics: Interference, diffraction, and polarization of light.
5. Modern Physics
- Photoelectric Effect: Explanation and application of the photoelectric effect.
- Atomic Models: Rutherford, Bohr, and quantum mechanical models of the atom.
- Nuclear Physics: Radioactivity, nuclear reactions, and fission and fusion processes.
6. Thermodynamics
- Heat and Temperature: Concepts of heat, temperature, and thermal expansion.
- Laws of Thermodynamics: Zeroth, first, and second laws of thermodynamics.
- Heat Engines: Carnot engines and efficiency.
7. Oscillations and Waves
- Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM): Characteristics of SHM, equations of motion, and energy in SHM.
- Waves: Types of waves, wave equations, and sound waves.
The students can point out their problems in these topics & level of syllabus covered .
