Which is the best textbook to study physics for JEE Mains and Advanced exam?
I am studying HC Verma.
-
You can study NCERT, HC Verma and Cengage series. -
Arihant and HC Verma are the best textbooks to study physics for JEE Mains and advanced exam.
-
HC Verma is good for numerical, but NCERT of Physics is the most important book. -
For JEE mains and advance, you can refer to Halliday Resnick. -
I am interpreting that one should have such exposure of problems which is going to save your time in the exam because time is most important factor in the exam hall. You should follow The books of Arihant publication for JEE Mains.
If interpreted in terms that you need good concepts, you can go through HCV concepts of physics.
I will suggest that you follow both the books because first one will help you clear the exam only, but the second one will help you with further understanding. -
Series of Cengage books is the best for clearing the concepts as well as exemplary numerical problems along with unsolved questions. -
