Is University Physics good for Physics Olympiad?
It depends on the Olympiad is for which grade . For example if the olympiad is for ninth grade , it won’t help (supposing u manage to understand university physics ) . This is because these exams are not meant for ur GK but for the understanding of how you apply the concepts you learnt that particular year .
How difficult is physics Olympiad?
While the exam was challenging, getting the results out was probably equally exacting. The Olympiad had two exams: experimental (for five hours), which was held on July 7, and a theory paper (merely three questions to be answered in five hours) on July 9.
What is National Olympiad winner in physics?
Individual results
| Year | Contestant | Award |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Debaditya Pramanik | Gold Medal |
| 2016 | Preey Shah | Gold Medal |
| 2016 | Manan Bhatia | Silver Medal |
| 2016 | Divyansh Garg | Silver Medal |
Which is the best physics book for the Olympiad?
Irodov’s book is probably one of the best. Yeah I only know Kinematics so far, so which book is best to LEARN physics while preparing for the olympiad. not much theory compared to other university physics textbooks but A LOT of problems. Fundamentals of Physics, Irodov’s, Feynman lectures and watch MIT lectures, would do.
Which is better – fundamentals of physics or university physics?
Both are legendary books. However the Newtonian mechanics is better described in University Physics than Fundamentals of Physics. Then again, chapters on Electro-magnetism are better explained in Fundamentals. Also the problems are more fun in University Physics.
Is Halliday and Resnick a good book for a physics major?
Halliday and Resnick is almost unparalleled as a survey of First year college physics. “A really serious physics student should do every problem in Halliday and Resnick in high school.” This book is good for both engineers, other science majors, and first year physics majors.
Should I read H&R physics or the theory of Physics?
The theory is good in both, For the fundamental of physics you have perfectly chosen each book . If you read H&R, you’ll start liking Physics and that makes things so much easier when you are trying to master a tough subject like Physics. Each of the books you have stated are excellent.
