EXCEL IN JEE ADVANCED!!

SESSION ON ELECTROSTATICS BY KUNAL SINGH

Whenever an aspirant thinks about Cracking IITJEE the first thing he analyzes is
the major topics which he can say he must be confident of .Every aspirant
prepares a list of Topics as per his SWOT Analysis. And I am quite sure every
serious aspirant thinks of Electrostatics as a must do and scoring Topic which
nobody can even dare to skip. If you analyze JEE Papers , you can easily find that
Electrostatics is given its due importance every year with quite respectable
weightage in terms of marks.
Well I would like to say that its quite simple , interesting and scoring topic which
can definitely give a big boost to your rank in JEE Advanced/mains. Whenever I
discuss the importance of Electrostatics with my colleagues and friends in IITs ,all
of them have the same word Easy and must do!! which definitely means that If
you are not able to electrostatics in JEE paper ,you are definitely going to miss the
Top 1000 Berth of JEE Express.
To start with strategy to prepare Electrostatics, I would rather recommend to go
through Resnick Halliday Physics for the Theoretical Cocepts followed by H C
Verma which is a beautiful book utilizing all the micro concepts to enhance your
confidence. Once you are done with these you can have a deep understanding
with University physics by Zeemansky which definitely puts you at par with IIT
JEE. To brush up and stand tall , solve selected problems of I.E.Irodov which has
few very similar questions as per JEE Level. NCERT is also recommended as the
New Ncert has really good stuffs to go through. Dont miss it. Do remember that
use of Symmetry , calculus mathematics and micro logical fundas are an integral
part of Electrostatics Question asked every year in JEE.
After summing up all these, one should try to solve previous year JEE Question
papers which is definitely a litmus test for every aspirant.IIT JEE always try to
amalgamate multi concepts in a single case problem. In JEE papers you can find
Simple Harmonic Motion concept or mechanics concepts(kinematics/Energy
conservation/work energy theorem etc) applicable in Electrostatics questions.
Also you can always relate symmetry of Gravitation with Electrostatics. Lets have
a look over the below mentioned problem set.
Q) A small negatively charged ball of mass m is suspended on a long insulating
string. Another small negatively charged ball is slowly moved by a student toward
the first one from a large distance. Eventually, the second ball is placed at the
original location of the first one. At that moment, the first ball is elevated a small
distance h above its original position. How much work is done by the student
moving the second ball?
Ans: 3mgh
[ Hint :



Question 2: Two small particles have electric charges of equal magnitude and
opposite signs. The masses of the particles are m and 2m. Initially, the distance
between the particles is d, and the velocities of the particles have equal
magnitude V. However the velocity of particle 2m is directed away from
particle m, whereas the velocity of particle m is directed perpendicular to the
line connecting the particles. In the subsequent motion of the particles, they are
found to be at a distance 3d from each other-twice ! Find the possible values
of the charge of each particle.
Ans:


Teased!!! Welcome to the Conceptual world of physics where you need to buck
up all you screws to come out with flying colors. Well Talking about JEE 2014
Advanced paper is always like discussing the nature of earthquake or a tide which
are mostly unpredictable.
Additionally , I would emphasize that few questions were in the paper where
students had to enforce their analytical ability to solve the problem i.e we can say
RATTA FAILS HERE .You will not be able to solve using formula only. If you
analyze the questions of IITJEE (Question no 6 and 7 of JEE 2014 paper-2) of
question , you will find that cramming couldnt help.
One can only guess the maximum and minimum intensity but never the accurate
scale and the responses are always mixed depending upon aspirants preparation
level. Anyways, I would like to put my concepts being a physics Trainer after
completing my studies in the so called Intellectual Campus of IIT Chennai. I will
join you all over the webinar on Electrostatics scheduled by Spenedea. So Guys
see you in the sessions!
To finish up lets have one more real life Case study given below:
