Physics Thermal Properties of Matter is a comprehensive course designed to help students master the fundamental concepts and applications of thermal properties in matter.
Designed by Dr. Balaji Sampath, a renowned educator with extensive experience in teaching complex physics concepts, this course is tailored for students preparing for competitive exams like NEET and JEE.
The thermal properties of matter are fundamental to understanding how materials react to changes in temperature and how energy is transferred in various forms. This topic can often seem overwhelming, with concepts such as specific heat, latent heat, and thermal expansion requiring deep conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills.
This course, designed for Class 11 students, simplifies complex ideas and offers a structured approach to mastering thermal properties. Whether you're preparing for JEE, NEET, or school exams, this course provides the knowledge and tools to solve problems efficiently and gain a solid foundation in thermodynamics.
This micro-course, created by Dr. Balaji Sampath, includes 35 concept lecture videos and 42 questions with video solutions, all of which can be completed in just 12 hours. The course covers the thermal properties of matter, including key concepts like temperature and heat, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion, and latent heat.
It offers practice questions from basic to advanced levels for JEE and NEET preparation. The course also provides expert strategies, tips, and real-time problem-solving sessions to enhance speed and accuracy.
