What is Physics? (भौतिकी क्या है?)
Physics is the study of nature and its laws. It helps us understand how the universe behaves from microscopic particles to giant galaxies.
Physical Quantities (भौतिक राशियाँ)
Any quantity that can be measured and in terms of which laws of physics are expressed is a Physical Quantity (e.g. Length, Mass, Velocity).
Fundamental vs Derived Quantities (मूल और व्युत्पन्न राशियाँ)
Fundamental quantities are independent (Mass, Length, Time, Temp, Current, Luminous Intensity, Substance).
Derived quantities are formed by combining fundamental units (Velocity = Length/Time, Force = Mass × Acceleration).
Systems of Units: CGS, FPS, MKS, and SI System
Historically, various systems were used:
- FPS: Foot, Pound, Second
- CGS: Centimeter, Gram, Second
- MKS: Meter, Kilogram, Second
- SI: Système International d'Unités. Used globally today.
Dimensions of Physical Quantities (भौतिक राशियों की विमाएं)
Dimensions are the powers to which base quantities are raised to represent a physical quantity. Represented in square brackets `[ ]`.
Errors: Systematic, Random, and Gross (मापन में त्रुटियां)
Systematic Errors: Tend to be in one direction, caused by faulty instruments or environmental factors.
Random Errors: Occur irregularly due to random fluctuations. Reduced by averaging readings.
Gross Errors: Caused by sheer human carelessness.
- Addition/Subtraction: Absolute errors add up (ΔZ = ΔA + ΔB).
- Multiplication/Division: Relative errors add up (ΔZ/Z = ΔA/A + ΔB/B).
- Powers: Relative error multiplied by power (Z = A² => ΔZ/Z = 2 × ΔA/A).
Significant Figures & Rounding Off Rules (सार्थक अंक)
Significant figures indicate the precision of measurement. Rules:
- All non-zero digits are significant.
- Trailing zeros after decimal are significant.
- Leading zeros are never significant (e.g. 0.003 has only 1 sig fig).
Memory Accelerator Cards
King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk
Helps remember SI multiplier prefixes in descending order:
Kilo (10³) → Hecto (10²) → Deca (10¹) → Deci (10⁻¹) → Centimate (10⁻²) → Milli (10⁻³).
Errors Always Add, Never Subtract
Whether you are multiplying, dividing, adding, or subtracting two physical variables, the maximum absolute or relative errors will ALWAYS add together. They never cancel out!
Observed Reading - Zero Error
Whether the zero error is positive or negative, always subtract the zero error from the observed reading to find the correct value!
Correct = Observed - (± Zero Error).

| Quantity | Formula | Dimensional Formula | SI Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velocity (वेग) | Displacement / Time | [M⁰ L T⁻¹] | m/s |
| Force (बल) | Mass × Acceleration | [M L T⁻²] | Newton (N) |
| Work / Energy (ऊर्जा) | Force × Displacement | [M L² T⁻²] | Joule (J) |
| Pressure (दाब) | Force / Area | [M L⁻¹ T⁻²] | Pascal (Pa) |
NEET & JEE Exam Strategy Tips
- JEE Tip: Look out for dimensionally matching options. Frequently, you can solve option-based JEE questions by matching options with target dimensions without even solving!
- NEET Tip: Practice absolute errors and least count error propagation. Focus heavily on Vernier Calipers and Micrometer Screw Gauges.
- Significant Figures rule: During multiplication, the result must match the number with the *least* significant figures.
