Any textbook of physics deals with a selected set of topics in physics. The level of the content is designed to meet the requirements of standards for a specific course. The content aims at providing the student with the basic knowledge of the concepts, necessary depth of understanding and application skills. Application skills could be experimental skills or problem solving skills. Experimental skills have to be necessarily built through laboratory work. Problem solving skills to be built through a variety of graded exercises, which involve concept analysis and numerical calculations.

Due to certain limitations in textbooks, students generally have difficulty in problems solving. Hence, a great need for a problem book is felt.

Each chapter in this book begins with the summary of the concepts and formulae helpful in recapitulation. This is followed by a set of short questions with answers to build up the understanding skills. A large number of graded problems are solved to enable the student to develop problem-solving skills.

The book is aimed not only at helping the students to face II Pre University Examination, with confidence but also to provide the necessary foundation to prepare for the Common Entrance Test (CET).
