Senior Inter Physics Marks Weightage for All Chapters in IPE Exams

Physics not only studies about the man and energy individually, but
also combinedly. E = mc2 is a famous equation of Einstein which
encompasses whole Physics. The physics syllabus of the Senior
Intermediate, mainly deals with different forms of Energy viz. Sound,
Light, Magnetism and Electricity. We also study Modern
Physics which could not be explained by classical Physics.

Senior Inter Physics Important Questions and Exam Tips

Read the text: Guides and other printed material assist you in scoring
good marks in Intermediate Public Exam but not in getting a good rank
in Entrance exam.
Hence, read the text book thoroughly.

Physics plays a pivotal role in Medical and Engineering entrances.
Especially, in medicine, Physics decides the rank. Solve the problems
given in the Telugu
Akademi and in other standard books. Resort to model papers only after attaining
the command over the subject. To excel well in IIT and in other national level
exams, one should have the comprehensive mastery over the subject.

In Physics, every part of the subject is an important one. Revise the
topics and formulae of first year.

Some Important Questions (SAQ)

1. Critical angle, Total internal reflection, Mirages, Rainbow.
2. Scattering of Light, Colour of the Sun.
3. Simple microscope.
4. Doppler effect in light, Red-Blue shifts.
5. Coulomb's inverse square law, Dipole, Gauss's law and their applications.
6. Electric Potential, Expression for the capacitance of a parallel
plate capacitor,
Dielectrics, Energy stored by a capacitor, Series and Parallel combinations of
Capacitors.
7. Biot-Savart law, Ampere's law, Magnetic induction due to a long
current carrying conductor.
8. Cyclotron, force acting between the two parallel current carrying conductors.
9. Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr atomic models, expression for the energy
of an electron revolving around the nucleus, Debroglie's explanation
of Bohr's postulate.
10. Half-wave, Full-wave rectifiers, different types of logic gates
and their truth tables. Strategy...

Previous question papers may help you in assessing your level of
preparedness to face the Exam. Read all sorts of questions given at
the end of the chapter. Sometimes, LAQ may be asked as a SAQ and
vice-versa. . The analysis of previous question papers indicate that
all the LAQ asked under 6th chapter are framed from the SAQ of the
text book.

Long Answer Questions of Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance are given as
Short Answer Questions, such as the combination of capacitor, energy stored by a
capacitor.

The strong hold on this subject will, definitely, be helpful in
understanding other subjects in a different aspect.

Senior Inter Study Plan Physics for AP and Telangana Boards

The new horizons of Physics which advanced into the modern way of life,
such as Electromagnetic Waves, Dual nature of matter and their
consequences are also discussed in Intermediate.

Exam Pattern: The Senior Intermediate question paper is similar to
that of Junior
Inter. First section consists of 10 Very Short Answer Questions.
Unless we answer all these questions, we can't score 60 out of 60
marks. Among these, a question may be based on a numerical problem, a
question may be a diagram to test the drawing skills of the student.

Second section consists of 8 Short Answer Questions out of which 6 are
to be answered. This section may contain a numerical problem and a
derivation.

Third section consists 3 Long Answer Questions out of which two are to
be attempted. Question may consist a definition, a derivation, a
numerical and a diagram.

Syllabus:

Senior Inter text consists of sixteen chapters. Out of these a few are
very important. In view of Intermediate Public Exam 11th, 12th, 13th,
and 16th chapters
are of meagre importance.

First chapter ''Waves" deals with Wave motion and Sound. There is a
maximum probability of getting one long answer question from this
chapter. Concentrate on
Standing Waves, Doppler effect. A numerical problem may be framed from
Beats, Organ pipes and Doppler effect.

2nd and 3rd chapters are related to Light. We can expect atleast two
Short Answer
Questions from this part of the syllabus.

Total internal reflection, optical fibre, scattering of light,
formation of a rainbow, optical instruments are the important topics
of 2nd chapter.

3rd chapter deals with the wave nature of the Light. Read the concepts
of Interference, Diffraction and Polarization peripherally.

4th, 5th & 6th chapters are to be studied as a whole. These chapters
deal with Electricity. The proper order to study these chapters is...
Electric charge, Coulomlb's law, Electric field, Gauss's law,
Potential, Capacitance, Ohm's law, Kirchoff's rules, Wheatstone
Bridge, Meter Bridge and Potentiometer.

There may be a Long Answer Question on Wheatstone Bridge
or on Potentiometer.

7th, 8th, and 9th are to be studied as a single topic. They deal with
moving charges, magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction. . 13th and
14th chapters deal with atoms and Nuclei. Atomic structure, spectra
are the main features of "Atoms". From 14th chapter, there can be a
Long Answer Question on Nuclear reactor, or on radioactivity.

10th, 11th, 12th, and 16th chapters are to be studied conceptually,
without going into the derivative part.

15th chapter deals with Electronics. Try to analyse the types of Semiconductors,
Formation and Functioning of a p-n Junction Diode. Rectification,
Transistor circuit diagram and Logic gates are the important topics of
this chapter.

Prepare a chart of important formulae and write your own notes on
different topics.
. Practice few diagrams in a lucid way as given in this article.
