Physics Formulas For JEE Mains - Complete List of Most
Important Formulas!
JEE Main and JEE Advanced are the two mountains one needs to climb to get to a top technical
institute like the IITs or the NITs. Physics is a crucial part of the LIT JE, with a ton of formulas and
brain-aching concepts, it becomes a challenge for all JEE candidates. However, if you organize all
the Physics rormulas For JEE Mains topic-wise, you can now see a more clear picture.
This is what we do for you, Testbook brings to you a collection of well-organized formulas for JEE
Main Physics formulas.
What is the importance of Physics Formulas For JEE Mains?
Physics becomes an essential part of the JE preparation, Physics has a balanced mixture of both
Theory and Numericals and Solve-the-Equation type of questions occupies the majority part in JEE
Physics, hence a list of formulas is required as an aid for your JEE preparation.
Keeping all the Physics formulas at your fingertips helps a lot and saves a lot of time and effort.
Itis observed that many of the JEE Main Physics questions are formula-based, if you know the
formulas, just plug in the values and a couple of minutes of correct calculations will fetch you a
higher rank.
Check important chapters for jee main physics here!
Overview of the JEE Formulas Physics
Chemistry is an elevator to the gate of IIT but the gate can only be opened through Physics and
Maths. Everywhere you look around, you see a lot of Physics. The falling rains, the opening of a
book, pulling a chair, switching on the fan, propulsion of a rocket, and whatnot, just take a quick
look around you, and you see Physics.
Considering the importance of Physics in our day-to-day life, it is included in the JEE examination
and to guide you through these tough times of JEE preparation, Testbook has gathered all the
important Physics formulas that a serious JEE candidate must keep in his/her study desk.
The entire syllabus of JEE Physics is categorised under 21 topics, this is done in order to make
things more clean and clear, also we understand better if everything is well organised.
These 21 topics are -
