Physics for JEE Main is the subject that often becomes the biggest challenge for aspirants—especially those who find numerical problem-solving and conceptual clarity difficult. Many students score well in Maths and Chemistry but lose marks in Physics because they lack strategy, practice, and conceptual depth.
But the good news?
You can master Physics for JEE Main with the right approach, topic list, and study technique.
In this detailed guide, Resonance Jhunjhunu brings you a complete roadmap to improve Physics for JEE Main, along with topic-wise weightage, toppers’ strategies, important chapters, daily routines, common mistakes, revision methods, and a complete action plan for all students—average, above-average, and toppers.
We will also share an important announcement:
👉 Resonance Jhunjhunu is starting a dedicated Physics batch from 10 December 2025 by our expert faculty, Vinay Kumar Chahar, for JEE Main 2026 aspirants.
Let’s begin.
Why Most Students Struggle with Physics for JEE Main
Physics is not just theory or formulas—it is a perfect blend of both. Students who depend only on rote learning fail because:
- JEE Main asks application-based and logic-driven questions
- Numericals need strong fundamentals
- PYQs show that Physics rewards clarity, practice, and accuracy
- Lack of revision leads to confusion in formulas
- Students don’t solve enough mixed-chapter problems
- Students avoid NCERT examples and conceptual questions
Physics becomes easy only when the student understands how to connect concepts with real-world applications and numerical problem-solving.
Complete Topic List for Physics – JEE Main 2026 (With Weightage)
Physics for JEE Main is divided into three major categories:
1. High-Weightage & Must-Study Chapters
These chapters give 40–50% weightage and must be mastered first.
| Chapter | Expected Weightage | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Modern Physics | 6–8% | Easy-High scoring |
| Current Electricity | 6% | Moderate |
| Rotational Motion | 5–6% | Difficult |
| Electrostatics | 6% | Easy |
| Magnetism | 5% | Moderate |
| Work, Power & Energy | 4–5% | Easy |
| Kinematics | 4% | Easy |
| Optics (Ray + Wave) | 5–6% | Moderate |
These chapters are non-negotiable.
Toppers cover them at least 3–4 times.
2. Medium-Weightage Chapters (Must Practice)
| Chapter | Weightage |
|---|---|
| SHM & Oscillations | 3–5% |
| Thermodynamics | 5% |
| Gravitation | 2–3% |
| Mechanical Properties of Solids & Fluids | 2–3% |
| Alternating Current | 2–3% |
| EM Waves | 2% |
These chapters help you reach 100–150 marks when combined with high-weightage topics.
3. Low-Weightage but Easy Scoring Chapters
| Chapter | Weightage |
|---|---|
| Units & Dimensions | 1–2% |
| Error Analysis | 1–2% |
| Communication Systems | 1% |
| Semiconductor Devices | 3–4% |
These are quick chapters that give easy marks and should be done in the final revision.
Physics Strategy for JEE Main – Step-by-Step
Step 1 – Build Strong Concepts First
Physics requires concept clarity, not memorization.
Follow this order:
- Read NCERT theory
- Understand each formula—where it comes from
- Visualize real-life applications
- Solve basic conceptual questions
Students who master concepts before jumping into numericals score higher.
Step 2 – Strengthen Formula Retention
Physics formulas are logical, but students forget them due to lack of revision.
Create a Formula Register:
- Add formula
- Add units
- Add dimensions
- Add one example
- Add one shortcut
- Add common mistakes
Revise this notebook daily for 15 minutes.
Step 3 – Use PYQs Smartly (The Real JEE Material)
Physics PYQs for JEE Main reveal:
- Repeated patterns
- Standard numerical models
- Similar question framing
- Most important chapters
Solve at least 15 years of PYQs from:
- HC Verma illustrations
- Resonance DPPs
- Previous year JEE sets
- Online mock tests
You will see your accuracy improve quickly.
Step 4 – Practice Chapter-Wise Problems
Solve these in order:
- Conceptual questions
- Easy numericals
- Standard JEE-level problems
- Mixed questionnaire tests
- Timed tests
Your aim should be accuracy before speed.
Step 5 – Daily & Weekly Physics Strategy
Daily Tasks (2 Hours Minimum):
- 20–25 min revision
- 40 min conceptual study
- 40 min numericals
- 20 min PYQs
Weekly Tasks:
- 1 chapter test
- 1 mock test
- Analyse mistakes
- Revise weak chapters
Most Important Chapters for JEE Main Physics 2026
Below are the high-scoring chapters, in order of priority:
- Modern Physics
- Current Electricity
- Magnetism
- Electrostatics
- Optics
- Rotational Motion
- SHM
- Work, Power, Energy
- Kinematics
- Semi-Conductors
These chapters alone can help you score 70–90 marks if prepared well.

Toppers’ Strategy for Physics for JEE Main
1. Attend every Physics lecture
No topper skips classes.
2. Solve DPPs same day
This builds consistency.
3. Revision every week
Otherwise concepts fade.
4. Use mock tests wisely
Improve accuracy, not speed.
Common Mistakes Students Make in Physics (Avoid These)
- Memorizing formulas instead of understanding
- Skipping conceptual questions
