Study Notes

+2 ka Physics (Class 12 Physics)

1. Mechanics

Kinematics: Study of motion without considering forces.
- Equations of motion for uniform acceleration:
  - v = u + at
  - s = ut + (1/2)at²
  - v² = u² + 2as
Newton's Laws of Motion:
- First Law: Object remains in rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.
- Second Law: F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).
- Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

2. Work, Energy, and Power

Work (W): W = Fd cos(θ), where θ is the angle between force and displacement.
Kinetic Energy (KE): KE = (1/2)mv².
Potential Energy (PE): PE = mgh.
Conservation of Energy: Total energy remains constant in an isolated system.

3. System of Particles and Rotational Motion

Centre of Mass: The point where the mass of a system is concentrated.
Torque (τ): τ = rF sin(θ); τ causes rotational motion.
Angular momentum (L): L = Iω (I is the moment of inertia, ω is the angular velocity).

4. Gravitation

Law of Universal Gravitation: F = G(m₁m₂)/r², where G is the gravitational constant.
Gravitational Potential Energy: U = -G(m₁m₂)/r.
Orbital Motion: Satellite motion governed by gravitational force.

5. Mechanical Properties of Solids and Fluids

Elasticity: Measure of how much a material can deform under stress.
Pressure (P): P = F/A; also relates to fluid statics (P = ρgh).
Viscosity: Resistance to flow in fluids; Poiseuille's law describes flow in pipes.

6. Thermodynamics

Laws of Thermodynamics:
- First Law: ΔU = Q - W (Change in internal energy).
- Second Law: Entropy of an isolated system never decreases.
Heat Engines and Refrigerators: Efficiency concepts, Carnot engine.

7. Waves and Oscillations

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM): Motion in which restoring force is proportional to displacement.
Wave Properties:
- Types: Transverse and longitudinal waves.
- Speed of wave: v = fλ (frequency times wavelength).

8. Optics

Reflection and Refraction:
- Laws of reflection: Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.
- Snell's Law: n₁ sin(θ₁) = n₂ sin(θ₂).
Lenses and Mirrors:
- Lens formula: 1/f = 1/v - 1/u.
- Magnification: m = h'/h = -v/u.

9. Electromagnetism

Coulomb’s Law: F = k(q₁q₂)/r²; describes force between charges.
Electric Current (I): I = Q/t.
Magnetic Fields: Magnetic force on a charge moving in a field; F = qvB sin(θ).

10. Modern Physics

Photoelectric Effect: Emission of electrons when light shines on a material.
Atomic Models: Rutherford's model, Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom.
Nuclear Physics: Concepts of radioactivity, fission, and fusion.

11. Practical Skills

Lab Experiments: Understanding practical applications and experiments related to all topics.
Graphical Analysis: Skills in interpreting and drawing graphs related to motion, forces, and energy.
