MOST IMPORTANT DERIVATIONS + Theory-

Follow the following steps -

• The derivation marked bold are of more importance.

• I have written important theory topics in italics
• Treat this as a check list of all derivations and important theory for your Physics board
examination.
• Refer to my notes. I have written the page number of every derivation in my notes. You can find
the link to my notes in the description box of the video.

Best of luck !
