That is I am here to review IE Irodov and will tell you Why IE Irodov best book for JEE Advanced level physics?
                                                                 

IE Irodov Book review :

IE Irodov Book
IE IRODOV


IE Irodov - This book is intended as a textbook for students at higher educational institutions studying advanced course in physics. Besides, because of the great number of simple Problems it may be used by students studying a general course in physics.

IE Irodov contains about 1900 problems with hints for solving the most complicated ones.
But all problems are not for the purpose of JEE. For jee preparation only limited problems are required to be solved and those problems are enlisted below in the photo.
Relevant IE Irodov problem list
Important problems in IE Irodov
IE Irodov is one of the toughest book to solve as the problems have multiple concepts and lengthy calculations and 1 problems might take hours to solve that is why you must have patience to solve IE Irodov .

My JEE mentor Nitin Jain sir (NINJA sir) used to give us problems from Irodov only as he believed there is no skill development through easy problems one can solve 100 easy problem which will not make you learn but a Tough problem will make you learn many concepts and increase your patience.

I solved almost every problem provided in the list above and my physics was stronger part I scored 64 marks in JEE Advanced 2019 physics paper and I would say IE Irodov is must although most of the students do no solve IE Irodov.

In Vibrant Academy Irodov is discussed in classroom which is major boosting factor in JEE advanced result of Vibrant academy and makes Vibrant academy stand ahead of most of Coaching in kota.

All the Olympiads enthusiast solve IE Irodov and JEE toppers have this book in their shelf and carrying it with you daily is an honour in its own.

HOW TO ATTEMPT AN IE IRODOV PROBLEM:

This question does not have a definite answer as there is no fixed way to approach a problem. Following guidelines are likely to help you in your journey:

Before Solving a Problem
  • Build a good command over theory (concepts) from the books like HC Verma or Resnick and Halliday.
  • Brush up your mathematical skills, in particular, integral calculus.
During Solving
  • Read the question carefully. You cannot solve it unless you know what is given (quantities, constraints, etc.) and what is asked for?
  • Try to connect it with the physical concepts and write it in graphical/mathematical form (equation, model, figures).
  • Don’t be impatient. The solution may take a few minutes to a few hours depending on the problem and your preparation.
  • Solve the mathematical equations to get the result and analyse it.
  • If you are stuck then don’t hurry to read the solution. It is very likely that your knowledge of the theory is not enough. Make a new study of the related theory, paying attention to the finer points. Experience shows that a repeated study of the theory with a definite goal in mind is very effective and ensures success when the problem is re-attempted.
After Solving
  • Think again about the problem, your approach to the solution, and solution itself. What are the ways to improve it?
  • If you have access to the solution then have a look at it, just to make sure you get all the critical points.

  • For solving IE Irodov be sure you know derivation to important formulas and you have memorized those formulas too.
  • Be patient while solving IE Irodov
  • 1 Problem might even take an hour or more but give your fullest to the problem
  • Think outside the Box and be Practical.
  • Do Not Give up 
  • Solve IE Irodov only after completing the rest of Homework .(Very Important point)
  • Ask yourself what new did you learnt from the each and every problem.(important point)

Topics covered in the IE Irodov are: 

  • Physical Fundamentals of Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics and Molecular Physics
  • Electrodynamics
  • Oscillations and Waves
  • Optics
  • Atomic and Nuclear Physics
The best covered topics in IE Irodov Physics book are Basis of Vector, Trigonometry and Calculus. The book does not contain detailed solutions to the problems in the book, which might be frustrating to students. For Irodov Physics solutions, you can contact subject experts at Askiitians who offer detailed explanations and can help you understand how to solve the problems using illustrations and graphical representations.

IE IRODOV SOLUTION BOOK:

IE Irodov have a solution book too and it is very helpful for JEE aspirants as most of the coachings do not discuss IE Irodov and questions can't be asked outside the class as they are very time consuming.
I remember sometimes a whole lecture of NINJA sir's class were spent on IE Irodov 10 problems.

But Clearing your doubt is the most important part of your JEE preparation Journey.
That is why you need the solution book for IE Irodov.
                                                                  

These Books will solve your doubts instantly and you will be able to attempt most of the problems.
After attempting every problem and seeing the solution you can see what concepts or parts you missed while solving these problems, this way you will learn many more and new concepts.

This is why IE Irodov is must buy for a JEE Aspirant.


About Author IE Irodov

Igor Irodov
Igor Irodov

Igor Yevgenyevich Irodov (RussianИгорь Евгеньевич Иродов; 16 November 1923 – 22 October 2002) was a Soviet Russian physicist and World War II veteran. He was mostly known as a physics professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Engineering (MEPHi) and the author of a series of handbooks on general physics, which became lecture courses in physics in several countries.
In 1957 Irodov published his first book, a collection of problems in atomic physics, which was republished in 1959 and later translated into Polish, Romanian and English. Its eighth and expanded edition, issued in 2002, became the last substantial work by Irodov. He also published collections of problems in general physics in 1968 and 1979, which is still used by many students around the world to hone their physics skills and prepare for various Engineering Entrance Exams.
Irodov spent 27 years of his life on writing a series of handbooks fully covering a university course on general physics. He published the first part (mechanics) in 1975, the second part (electromagnetism) in 1983, and the full set in 1999–2001. In his handbooks Irodov aimed for brevity, crafting concise and clear definitions and removing unessential details and heavy calculus, and for relating theory with practical examples and problems.
Books in English
  • A collection of problems in atomic and nuclear physics (1966) 
  • Fundamental Laws of Mechanics (1980) 
  • Problems in General Physics (1981), 
  • Basic laws of Electromagnetism (1983)

JEE Main 2019 Marks| Rank | Percentile

JEE Main 2019 Marks vs Rank vs Percentile After taking the JEE Main exam, many students are curious about how their marks relate to their percentile score and rank. Let's break it down in a way that's easier for you to understand. The JEE Main exam uses a process called normalization to calculate the percentile score and rank of each student. This process takes into account factors like the difficulty level of the exam and how other students performed. The percentile score represents the percentage of students who scored equal to or lower than a particular student's score. For example, if a student gets a percentile score of 90, it means they performed better than 90% of the students who took the exam. To estimate the rank corresponding to a specific percentile, you can refer to the previous year's data provided by the National Testing Agency (NTA) or the official JEE Main website. This data gives an idea of the rank range for different percentiles. Keep in mind that t

Best way To Start IIT-JEE Preparation?
