--- title: "Engineering Physics" source: https://www.bctengineer.com/subjects/semester_1/engineering_physics site: BCT Engineering --- # Engineering Physics # Physics Study Plan > **This is NOT a subject to start during exam time or even in assessment. Finish it before assessment and use assessment for revision.** > **Total days if you’re a complete newbie:** 7 days to learn + 2 days for revision (revise 3× before the exam). **First:** Watch the _YouTube videos_ for concepts, underlying logic and background. **Then:** Consult the list of important theory topics, and only after that dive into your notes. > _Directly starting at the notes costs time & energy and may hurt your exam performance._ **Recommended:** - Buy _System Inception Physics Solution_ (covers numericals & theory). - Avoid G.L. Book House & Refresher Manual on Engineering. - For numericals, check out Pulchowk Stationary materials. --- ## Quick Links - **[Syllabus](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w-fwxSvX3KyssuKxkdybFNi3SD0dNOq8/view?usp=sharing)** - **[List of Important Theory Topics](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SxeL9Nq6TYrHtk8ug6IoyZJE9jBx0Y4jZiA21gtvyY8/edit?usp=sharing)** - **[Old Question Collection](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1FcClJQr0_q2sdxhWj28lCvQtelan6G/view?usp=sharing)** - **[Handwritten All Chapter Notes](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TDLScRqlp7hAevVbw42bbWXBX69SKv35)** ### Old Questions & Solutions - [Old Question Collection](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1FcClJQr0_q2sdxhWj28lCvQtelan6G/view?usp=sharing) - [Old Question Solution Set](https://drive.google.com/open?id=12RDNi-Jb-QSlJITQCLFdEwzLCx39fhgs) --- ## YouTube (Extremely Recommended) _Chapters arranged according to System Inception & mapped to IOE syllabus:_ - 1 & 2 – Oscillation / LC Oscillation: [YouTube 1](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhjOXVxt6g2p9S8WshMHBFSD) · [YouTube 2](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhgzqZCJvewlwoxKs2l1V3Dz) - 3 – Acoustics: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhhXajvF13jXlK2fXqNeLYYk) - 5 – Lenses: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhjCdIXefN7nBOAWGTVnr2ir) - 6, 7 & 13 – Laser, Fiber Optics & DC: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhiE_P8WXHmwxH5MwB5KTUxL) - 8 – Interference: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhgVImAv4Ks8qfCYch0x2tzN) - 9 – Diffraction: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhi64utQu9Oul_sANIPy0ngF) - 10 – Polarization: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhgMId9uL9TJ-r4AQqfhDXY0) - 11 – Electric Field & Potential: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhi_HmzF02CjY-PvE4Trh9K6) - 12 – Capacitor: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhghqNtNGbYhIdcyFVdNuXiY) - 14 – Electromagnetic Field: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhg5tRU8WRGRHtUvqCg1Y-5u) - 15 – Electromagnetic Inductance: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhiYN1PWWHyj5DZ226sohE0J) - 16 – Electromagnetic Waves: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhj__797Sn4mzFGoVafSmZL4) - 17 – Matter Wave: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXUYU7PbJhhVj7nK3HUV5sjX2FrMeHnY) --- ## Hours & Marks Distribution | Chapters | Hours | Marks | |--------------------------------------------------|:-----:|:-----:| | 1.
