Physics Notes
Unit 1: Mechanics - Motion: Distance, Displacement, Speed, Velocity, and
Acceleration. - Newton’s Laws of Motion: 1st Law (Inertia), 2nd Law (F =
ma), 3rd Law (Action-Reaction). - Work, Power, and Energy: Work = Force
× Displacement, Energy (Kinetic and Potential), Law of Conservation of
Energy.
Unit 2: Thermodynamics - Heat and Temperature: Relation through kinetic
energy of particles. - Laws of Thermodynamics: Zeroth Law (thermal
equilibrium), First Law (energy conservation), Second Law (entropy
increases), Third Law (absolute zero unattainable). - Applications: Heat
engines, refrigerators.
Unit 3: Electricity and Magnetism - Electric Current: Flow of charges,
Ohm’s Law (V = IR). - Resistance, Conductance, Series and Parallel
circuits. - Electromagnetism: Magnetic fields due to current,
Electromagnetic induction (Faraday’s Law). - Applications: Transformers,
Motors, Generators.
