NEET Physics 2020

NEET Physics

NEET Physics syllabus from class 11 and 12 has 6 prime units – Modern Physics,  Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electrodynamics,  SHM-Waves and Optics. 45 out of 180 questions asked in NEET are from the NEET Physics section. In comparison to Biology and Chemistry, students often have a tough time dealing with Physics primarily because of the typology of questions appearing in this section. It consists of computations of numericals, theoretical and application types of questions and more.

NEET Physics necessitates round-the-clock practice coupled with an in-depth comprehension of concepts and associated formulae. In order to score well in NEET, firstly learn and understand all important Physics topics, including formulae as specified in the syllabus. This would be the first step to crack challenging numericals effortlessly. Physics numericals are deemed no less than a nightmare by students because of which they tend to overlook it and do not practise enough. As a result, they focus on strengthening other sections of NEET. This has been perceived as the major reason why students fail to score as much in NEET Physics, affecting their final NEET score.

One of the most common practices amongst NEET aspirants that has been observed is the rote learning technique, where one memorizes. While the approach has gained momentum in Chemistry and Biology section, helping students, the same cannot be applied when it comes to NEET Physics section. To get a thorough insight into your learnings, it is suggested to take up test series provided topic-wise for every topic and hence, correlating with its application practically.

NEET 2020 Weightage – Number Of Questions Asked 

Given below is topic-wise weightage as seen in NEET 2020 Physics section. Take a look:

Compared to previous years, NEET Physics 2020 was relatively easier. Close to 33% of the Physics section was based on NCERT. Out of all the units, Mechanics carried the highest weightage. 12 questions were asked from the unit.

NEET Physics 2019 Analysis

NEET 2019 Physics section was deemed average in terms of complexity and length. Several questions were formula based. To crack the section with good marks, a strong and solid hold on concepts with its prompt application was inevitable. Aspirants found most of the questions appearing from NCERT syllabus, precisely close to 60%. The Physics section in particular was found to be comparatively easier. NEET 2019 was considered to be easier than the previous years. Most of the questions were asked from the Mechanics and Modern Physics section

Equal distribution of questions from both classes 11 and 12 was also taken note of. The topics that dominated NEET Physics section were Modern Physics and Mechanics, almost 50% of the section. Easier questions appeared from units such as Current Electricity and Magnetic Effect of Current. Also, since the paper for NEET 2019 was easier, there were high chances for the NEET cut-off to have increased.

Mechanics:

Topping the list of the top-scoring chapters for Physics, Mechanics, as seen above, is clearly one of the most important units. 17 out of 45 questions appeared from the unit alone. It, in turn, comprises 9 chapters – Class 11 from Chapter Units and Dimensions to Chapter Oscillations and Waves.

Find below the list of chapters categorized under Mechanics along with the corresponding weightage (previous trends):

A few important concepts covered in Mechanics are:

Heat and Thermodynamics:

Every year, around 3 questions appear from this unit, carrying a weightage of 6.6%.

The table below depicts the chapters under this unit:

A few important concepts covered in Heat and Thermodynamics are:

Electrostatics and Magnetism

This unit carries a weightage of 16.2% and the chapters are interrelated. Under this unit, the chapter Electrostatic potential and capacitance weighs nearly 35.6%, followed by Moving charges and Mechanism weighing around 31.5%. The unit majorly covers important numericals that appear in the examination. Listed below are some topics which should not be missed at all:

• Electrostatic potential and work done
• Motion in electric and magnetic fields
• Potential energy in an external field
• Cyclotrons and Torque on Current loop
• Magnetic dipole

Some significant topics are:

Kinematics:

Kinematics is one of the most interesting and crucial units of NEET Physics. The problems based on the evaluation of the maximum height, range, velocity and time of flight (2 D motion) are important from the examination point of view. Maintain proper notes of all the theorems, formulas, and derivations to assist your last-minute preparations. Strengthen your concepts on acceleration, displacement, average, and relative velocity to score well from this unit.

The students can follow NCERT books for NEET to strengthen their theoretical knowledge. For numerical problems, the students can refer to solved problems in Physics by Schaum. Concepts of Physics by H C Verma (Vol 1 & Vol 2) is helpful for both theoretical and numerical physics.
