Maximum part of 12th chapters such as Gravitation, Elasticity and Semiconductors are included in 11th’s syllabus. In the previous syllabus, there were 20 chapters but now it has been reduced to 6 appendices and 16 chapters.

Circular motion and Gravitation topics are combined and one chapter of Rotational Dynamic is formed. Likewise, Mechanical property of the fluid is transformed into combining Elasticity and Surface Tension. Concepts such as Streamline flow, Turbulent flow, Pascal’s law and application, Critical Velocity, Viscosity, Stokes’s law, Bernoulli equation and its application are added in a new chapter.

There is no change in the third chapter Kinetic theory of gases and radiation. But the fourth chapter Thermodynamics has included new concepts like cyclic process, P-V diagram, heat engine, refrigerator and heat pumps, Carnot cycle etc.

In further topics like Wave optics, Wave theory of light and Interference and diffraction are combined. Electrostatics, Current, Electricity, Magnetic effect of electric current hasn’t changed much. But overall physics syllabus has a considerable amount of change.
