About the Book
Irodov's problems are considered the most complex and comprehensive set of problems in terms of concept testing the world over. In fact, some problems combine multiple concepts of physics, which makes these problems unique. Solutions to IRODOV’S problems in General Physics, available in two volumes are meant for those dedicated physics students who face the challenge of solving numerical problems, particularly JEE (Mains & Advanced). The two volumes provide the complete solutions for each of the 1878 problems in I.E. IRODOV’s problems in General Physics. The solutions presented in this book are crisp, and guaranteed to make you think beyond the box. This book is exactly what you need to establish a strong foundation for discovering the beauty of physics and cracking any entrance exam in India.
About the Author
Mr. Abhay Kumar Singh is the Founder / Director of Abhay’s IIT Physics Teaching Centre, Patna and has had a teaching career spanning nearly two decades. His specialty is physics concepts and problem-solving, which are the two most essential parts of preparation for an JEE (Mains & Advanced) aspirant. Although, Mr. Abhay Kumar Singh, studied both Physics and Statistics up to the postgraduate level, he chose Physics as his area of expertise due to his interest and an aptitude for the subject. He started his career as a teacher in June, 1984, guiding the IIT-JEE aspirants. His teaching methods have always been innovative and intellectual, helping the students in understanding the concepts and developing a genuine liking for the subject in the long run.
