• Angle is dimensionless but has a unit (radian).
• Focuses on work, energy (kinetic, potential, etc.), and power.
• Discusses the fact that all types of energy have the same dimensions.
• Briefly discusses reverse engineering to get to dimension for a particular term.

More Complex Quantities and Topics

• Examines dimension of the quantities related to rotational motion (moment of inertia, torque, angular momentum).
• Mentions relationship in the quantities such as torque related to rate of change of angular momentum.
• Further covers quantities related to SHM (time period, frequency, angular frequency, spring constant).
• Highlights that the Dimension formulas from formula with the shortest method.
• Includes the quantities related to fluid mechanics (density, pressure, surface tension, coefficient of viscosity).
• Covers the concept of rate of change vs gradient and relates terms like pressure gradient, velocity gradient to the core concept.

Thermal Physics

• Explores the following terms such as: Stress, Strain, Young's Modulus, Bulk Modulus, Thermal Expansion etc., related to thermal physics of the material.
• Coefficient of thermal expansion is temperature inverse, with units in per degree Celsius.

• Emphasizes the heat transformation with respective formula ( ml2t-2 ).
• Stefan's constant, Wein's constant, and gas constant are the terms defined with calculation of respective dimension parameter.
• Mentions terms where chemistry starts mixing with physics (amount of substance), which makes the area more prone to errors.
• Covers the constant term appearing in the gas equation.

Electromagnetism (Class 12th Physics)

• Terms related to electromagnetic forces (Electric and Magnetic).
• Charge is taken as a derived unit, with quantities based out of charge such as Permittivity, Electric field, potential discussed.
• Discusses the importance of various other terms from electro-static with high chances of confusion which includes terms like: intensity and energy; both sound similar but has core difference.
• Various terms related to gravitation are discussed, taking gravitation as a subset to electro topic (Gravitational Constant, Gravitational Potential).
• Covers terms related to current electricity and current density.
• Includes Ohm's law related expression and constants, variables such as: Resistance and resistivity.
• Electro-motive force is described elaborately, taking into account high chances of errors (Electro-motive force, tension).
• The concept and expression related to capacitance is defined.

Magnetism

• Describes tricky but high-weight-age topic that involves Magnetic field, taking into scope their possible variables (Magnetic field, Magnetic Field intensity).
• The possible range of error is highlighted with the variables that sound similar but differ with formula and definition.
• Permeability is also described, taking account of possible units of error.
• With formulas and example of calculation, high-risk error zones are defined elaborately.

Modern Physics

• Topic that touches on concepts like: Radio-Activity, Photo-Electric effect (work function, de Broglie wavelength).
• Highlights that, during formula calculation, power to terms must always be taken into account to get to the core calculations.

Importance on Exam Strategy

• Emphasis on reading more and more to get a high probability in exams.

Examination of Previous Questions

• In a problem from JEE Main 2023, it illustrates quick dimensional analysis to select the right option.
• One more problem highlighting previous year repeats, making it important to have a high probability in this year exams too.

Vector Basics
