They are as follows- Electrostatics, Current electricity, Magnetic Effects of current and magnetism, Electromagnetic Induction and alternating currents, Electromagnetic waves, Optics, Dual nature of radiation and matter, atoms and nuclei, and electronic devices. These nine parts each carry a certain percentage of weightage in your examination. You will get a marks distribution of the chapter at the beginning of your textbook. This marks distribution is done according to the weightage of each chapter or each section in your 12th board examinations. This marks distribution will help you understand the importance of each chapter and will help you prepare better.

- Numerical problems are a crucial part of Physics. To be able to do numerical problems, you need to understand the concepts of each subject. By reading the chapter thoroughly and paying attention in class, you will get a clear idea of the concepts and be able to solve the numerical problems easily. Also, keep in mind to learn each and every formula properly. Memorizing the formula and knowing every concept will help you solve the numerical problems together.
- So every unit is divided into further chapters which cover the whole content in the units. To be able to cover the whole syllabus properly, start by reading each chapter thoroughly.

Once highlighted, revise those portions weekly so that you remember the important parts well.
- Once done with reading each chapter, you need to practice. Now let us discuss how to practice your Physics for class 12. Practice it chapter-wise. For example, read one chapter the way it is mentioned in the previous point. After reading and memorizing the important parts, do the book exercises. The book exercises will contain one-word answer questions, long questions, and short questions. Practice each type of question thoroughly. Also, practicing the different types of questions in your exercise will give you an idea regarding the type of questions that will come in your exam. Sometimes in your school exams, you will get questions straight from your textbook exercises.
