Rank up Physics JEE Main and Advanced is a recently launched series of 5 books which covers each and every sphere of Physics syllabus of JEE Main and Advanced. This is an excellent resource for aspiring engineers who wish to learn the concepts of Physics from zero level. The theoretical part of this series is presented in a simple manner to develop the core understanding of the subject. To grasp the concepts strongly, each Unit of the series is supplemented with self-explanatory diagram, table, flow charts, graphs, examples etc. The five books of rank up Physics series are: mechanics volume 1 mechanics volume 2 waves and Thermodynamics electricity and Magnetism Optics and Modern Physics The uniqueness of this series lies in the following fact: complete coverage of syllabus. Simplified presentation of complex Physics concept. Numerous solved examples, questions and Numerical for each Chapter variety of questions like - single Correct Answer type, multiple Correct Answer type, passage based, matrix match, integer type etc. To prepare you for both JEE Main and Advanced. Previous 2 years’ questions of JEE Main and JEE Advanced with detailed solutions. This book waves and Thermodynamics of rank up Physics series covers the concepts of waves and Thermodynamics in 6 units in an effective and easily comprehensible way. After every topic of each Unit fundamental questions are given to help students practice and apply the concepts that they have learnt. This is indeed a helpful for all aspiring engineer.
