BSEH SS Physics study plan

Derive Coulomb's law, the field of continuous charge distributions, and Gauss's law applications (sphere, cylinder, sheet) from first principles, writing each step without notes.

Solve 25 electrostatics numericals covering dipole moment, torque, potential energy, and capacitance of parallel-plate and spherical capacitors, timing each set to exam pace.

Build a one-page formula sheet linking electric field, potential, and capacitance, and verify each entry by re-deriving it.

Set up a weekly error log and classify every mistake as conceptual, algebraic, or unit-based.

Apply Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's rules, and the Wheatstone bridge to multi-loop circuits, drawing and labeling every loop before solving.

Compute equivalent resistance for series-parallel networks and internal-resistance problems, then check each answer with an energy-balance argument.

Describe the procedures, circuit diagrams, and precautions for meter-bridge, potentiometer, and Ohm's law experiments in writing.

Identify the systematic errors (end corrections, contact resistance, zero error) that each experiment is designed to expose.

Derive the magnetic field of a straight wire, loop, and solenoid using Biot-Savart and Ampere's law, and state the direction rule used each time.

Solve force-on-charged-particle and force-on-current-carrying-conductor problems, including circular motion in a uniform field and velocity selectors.

Apply Faraday's law and Lenz's law to changing-flux problems, stating the induced current direction before computing magnitude.

Compute impedance, phase angle, and resonance frequency for series LCR circuits, and sketch phasor diagrams for each case.

Trace ray diagrams for mirrors and thin lenses, then confirm each image position and magnification with the mirror and lens formulas.

Derive and apply the prism formula, minimum deviation condition, and lens-maker's equation to numericals.

Solve interference and diffraction problems using path difference, fringe width, and single-slit minima conditions.

Explain polarization, Brewster's angle, and Malus's law qualitatively and quantitatively.

Apply Einstein's photoelectric equation to stopping potential, threshold frequency, and work-function problems, tracking units in electron-volts and joules.

Compute de Broglie wavelengths for electrons and macroscopic objects, and compare magnitudes to justify quantum versus classical treatment.

Use Bohr's postulates to calculate energy levels, radii, and spectral line wavelengths for hydrogen-like atoms.

Write and balance nuclear decay equations for alpha, beta, and gamma processes, and compute mass defect and binding energy.

Analyze diode circuits in forward and reverse bias, including half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, and sketch the output waveform for a given input.

Compute gain, input-output phase relation, and operating point for a transistor amplifier in common-emitter configuration.

Describe the electromagnetic spectrum in order of wavelength and frequency, and state one production or detection method per band.

Explain displacement current and how Maxwell's correction predicts electromagnetic waves, and relate wave speed to permittivity and permeability.

Write out the standard procedures, formulas, and precautions for vernier calipers, screw gauge, simple pendulum, and resonance-column experiments.

Solve measurement problems involving least count, percentage error, and significant figures, and propagate uncertainty through a calculated quantity.

Review general-physics applications linking domains, such as capacitors in defibrillators, transformers in power grids, and lasers in medicine.

Explain each application in two sentences: the principle used and the practical constraint that limits it.

Take two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and score them strictly.

Reclassify every mock-exam error by domain and by error type, then rework each missed item from scratch without looking at the solution.

Re-derive the ten most error-prone formulas from memory and confirm against the formula sheet.

Build a final one-page rapid-review card covering the highest-yield relations across all twelve domains.
