Hello B.Tech students,
Engineering Physics is a first-year B.Tech subject that covers the fundamental principles of physics and their applications in engineering. The subject aims to provide a strong foundation in physics that can be applied in various engineering disciplines. Topics covered in engineering physics include classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, waves, and optics. These concepts are essential in understanding the behavior of materials, circuits, machines, and systems. Engineering physics also covers the latest advancements in physics such as nanotechnology, photonics, and quantum mechanics, which have significant implications for engineering applications. Students are exposed to experimental techniques and laboratory work that reinforce the concepts learned in lectures. A thorough understanding of engineering physics is critical for B.Tech students to excel in their future coursework and engineering careers.
I am sharing Physics question bank with answers and solutions in Q&A format for engineering/BTech first year. This is available as a PDF file for free download below.
