How to best utilise I.E. Irodov for JEE preparation (Advanced)? Is it really useful? If yes, what are the topics that needs to be skipped?

Hi Bhumik,

I.E. Irodov is a practice book for physics.

I feel you need not go through I.E. Irodov if you are preparing for JEE

H.C. Verma and D.C. Pandey are more than enough and if you are preparing for JEE then you might be taking coaching also somewhere and they must be providing you some study material go through that and also the NCERTs that's more than enough.

You shouldn't go through I.E. Irodov as firstly it was written some times ago and it doesn't even get updated, so it has some outdated material besides that the material i mentioned above is plenty of you go by all the above mentioned material it would be more than enough

Hope you get that :)

Bhumik,



IE IRODOV is one of the toughest book on this planet.



If you master this book you can easily get into IIT ,MIT, HARVARD,  STANDFORD.



This book contains thousands of questions. As it is not possible to do all questions. Better do some questions from its exercise and do practice every example.



After practicing examples you can do exercise may be even or odd questions that will be enough I guess.



Syllabus for jee advanced physics is



General

Units and dimensions, dimensional analysis; least count, significant figures; Methods of

measurement and error analysis for physical quantities pertaining to the following

experiments: Experiments based on using Vernier calipers and screw gauge

(micrometer), Determination of g using simple pendulum, Youngs modulus by Searles

method, Specific heat of a liquid using calorimeter, focal length of a concave mirror and

a convex lens using u-v method, Speed of sound using resonance column, Verification of

Ohms law using voltmeter and ammeter, and specific resistance of the material of a wire

using meter bridge and post office box.

Mechanics

Kinematics in one and two dimensions (Cartesian coordinates only), projectiles; Uniform

circular motion; Relative velocity.

Newtons laws of motion; Inertial and uniformly accelerated frames of reference; Static

and dynamic friction; Kinetic and potential energy; Work and power; Conservation of

linear momentum and mechanical energy.

Systems of particles; Centre of mass and its motion; Impulse; Elastic and inelastic

collisions.

Law of gravitation; Gravitational potential and field; Acceleration due to gravity; Motion

of planets and satellites in circular orbits; Escape velocity.

Rigid body, moment of inertia, parallel and perpendicular axes theorems, moment of

inertia of uniform bodies with simple geometrical shapes; Angular momentum; Torque;

Conservation of angular momentum; Dynamics of rigid bodies



And OPTICS,  THERMODYNAMICS, ELECTRICITY,MAGNETISM, MODERN PHYSICS, mechanics.





So there is no way you can leave any topic for jee advanced. As you know a question in jee advanced covers more than one topic.
