SYLLABUS IN PHYSICS FOR THE ISC

EXAMINATION IN AND AFTER 2011


Class XI

SECTION A

1. Role of physics
i. Scope of physics.
ii. Role of physics in technology.
iii. Impact on society.

2 Units

I. SI units.Fundamental and derived units (correct symbols for units including conventions for symbols).
II. Accuracy and errors in measurement. Least count of measuring instruments (and and implications for
errors in experimental measurement and calculations).
III. Significant figures and order of accuracy with reference to measuring instruments .Powers of and order
of magnitude.

3 Dimensions

i. Dimensional formula of physical quantities (from Mechanics only).


ii. Dimensional equation and its use to check correctness of a formula, to find the relations between physical quantities. to
find the dimension of a physical quantity or constant; limitations of dimensional analysis
4 Vectors, Scalar quantities and Elementary Calculus.
i. Vectors in one dimension, two dimensions and three dimensions.
ii. Vectors operations (addition, subtraction and multiplications of vectors including use of unit vectors I,j,k;
parallelogram and triangle law of vector addition).
iii. Resolution and components of like vectors in a plane (including rectangular components), scalar (dot) and
vector (cross) products.
iv. Elementary Calculus; differentiation and integration as required for physics topics in Class XI and XII.

5 Dynamics

i. Cases of uniform velocity, equations, of uniformly accelerated motion and applications including motion under
gravity (close to surface of the earth) and motion along a smooth inclined plane.
ii. Relative velocity, projectile motion.
iii. Newton’s laws of motion and simple applications. Elementary ideas on inertial and uniformly accelerated
farmes of reference.
iv. Concurrent forces (reference should be made to force diagrams and to the point of application of forces),
work done by constant and variable force(Spring force).
v. Energy, conservation of energy, power, conservation of linear momentum, impulse, elastic and inelastic
collisions in one dimension only.
