HC Verma Physics Book is the Traditional Choice for JEE Preparation

Dr. Harish Chandra Verma did his doctorate from IIT Kanpur in 1994 and went on to become a Reader at Patna University. He is an imminent Nuclear Experimental Physicist of India with his chief interests being Condensed Matter and Materials Applications as well as Earth Science problems such as Meteorites and Extinction Boundaries.

With his extensive knowledge of Physics and his familiarity with ins and outs of IIT system, it was natural that HC Verma Physics book became the best for JEE preparation.

The professor has authored three books for students and all of them are very popular. Foundation Science Physics book is meant for Class IX and Class X students and Quantum Physics book is meant for college-level students.

But the most popular is HC Verma Concepts of Physics book which is in two volumes and is meant for Class XI and Class XII students.

Topics covered in Volume 1 are:

Highlights of HC Verma book

Explains Physics fundamentals in a simple, easy-to-understand language.Clarifies complex concepts easily and good for students who want to start from scratch.It has number of solved and unsolved numericals that have been designed to help students understand the concepts better. They have varying levels of difficulty too.The best covered topics in the book are Mechanics, Electrostatics, Modern Physics, Optics, and Thermodynamics.

Concepts of Physics by HC Verma is published by Bharati Bhawan. Meant for students whose fundamentals are already clear till high-school level, this book gives students a systematic understanding of Physics to pre-university students. In fact, it is being used by text books for Class 11 and Class 12 at many schools.

When you go to buy Physics book for IIT JEE preparation, this is the first book you will be recommended by the shopkeepers, teachers, coaching classes and those who have cracked IIT JEE before.
