  • Focus will be on important chapters keeping the syllabus in mind

Topic of First Lecture: "Units and Measurement"

  • This chapter helps in laying the foundation in Physics
  • Basics of Physics will be explained over the next few months

Important Topics

  • Physical Quantities:
    • Mass
    • Length
    • Time
    • Current
    • Temperature
    • Amount of Substance
    • Luminous Intensity

Fundamental Units:

  • These units do not depend on any other unit and are mainly of seven types:
    1. Mass (kg)
    2. Length (m)
    3. Time (s)
    4. Current (A)
    5. Temperature (K)
    6. Amount of Substance (mol)
    7. Luminous Intensity (cd)

Classes of Units:

  • Fundamental Units: Independent and basic
  • Derivative Units: Obtained from the construction of basic units
  • Supplementary Units: Do not directly fall into subcategories

Usage of Units:

  • Units used in daily life
  • Help in measuring experimental material used in Physics

Graphical Relations

  • Use of graphs to clarify the relationship between various physical quantities

New Plans and Support System

  • Proposal to start online classes
  • Convenient for detailed exam preparation with monthly fees

Important Tips

  • It is necessary to take notes
  • Understand Physics clearly and systematically
  • Coordinate mathematical and auditory methods

Future Classes

  • Announced the date and time of the next lecture
  • Discussions will help to expand on the subject

Important Date: Classes start from November 28, join quickly and be prepared according to the plan!

Conclusion

  • Students can clarify all their queries and be ready for the upcoming classes.

Enterprise: Every effort will be made to support all students.
