Class 12 Physics is divided into two parts: Electrostatics & Magnetism and Modern
Physics & Optics. Below is a breakdown of the syllabus, along with a brief
explanation of each topic.
Part A: Electrostatics, Current, and Magnetism
Electric Charges and Fields
Coulomb's law: Force between two charges.
Electric field, field lines, and Gauss's law.
Applications of Gauss's law (e.g., electric field of a charged sphere or a wire).
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
Potential energy of a charge in an electric field.
Equipotential surfaces, potential due to point charges.
Capacitors and dielectrics.
Current Electricity
Ohm's law: Resistance, resistivity.
Series and parallel combinations of resistors.
Kirchhoff's laws, Wheatstone bridge, and meter bridge.
Concept of EMF and internal resistance.
Moving Charges and Magnetism
