Physics numerical are often the most feared part of Class 11 and 12 CBSE syllabus — but they don’t have to be! With the right strategy, formulas, and consistent practice, solving Physics numerical becomes simple and even fun.
In this guide, you’ll learn step-by-step methods, tips, tricks, and common mistakes to avoid when tackling Physics numericals for Class 11 and 12.
📘 Why Are Physics Numericals So Important?
Physics numericals test your:
- Concept clarity
- Application skills
- Calculation accuracy
- Time management
In CBSE board exams, competitive exams (like JEE/NEET), and school tests, numericals carry significant weightage.
🧠 Step-by-Step Method to Solve Physics Numericals Easily
1. ✅ Read the Question Carefully
- Identify what’s given, what’s asked, and any hidden data.
- Underline keywords like “freely falling,” “projectile,” “constant velocity,” etc.
2. 📌 List the Given Data with Proper Units
Example:
Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
Time (t) = 5 s
Write the known values neatly. This clears confusion.
3. 🧮 Choose the Right Formula
Select a formula based on what’s given and what’s asked:
E.g. For motion in a straight line:
s=ut+12at2s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2s=ut+21at2
Tip: Learn formulas by category — motion, laws of motion, work & energy, etc.
4. ✍️ Substitute Values Carefully
- Maintain unit consistency.
- Don’t skip steps — show your working. It can earn partial marks in CBSE exams.
5. 🔄 Re-check Calculation & Units
- Use a calculator (in practice) to confirm answers.
- Make sure your final answer has correct SI units and is logically reasonable.
