I Am Dr. N. Rathankar Rao,
I am on a Mission to make Learning Physics Interesting and Fun.
These videos describes the misconceptions a student has while solving numericals in physics and methods to overcome it
The videos in this page shows the video solutions for all the problems (SL, HL) for both the time zones (TZ1, TZ2) for all past papers in physics for paper-1 ( MCQs)
The videos in this page leads to data analysis course offered in the IBDP Curriculum -2025 for Physics in paper-1.
Comparison Problems are Numericals in Physics, wherein a concept in the form of an equation will be applied for two sets of values for the variables given in the equation. The outcome needs to be determined by solving those equations either by simple division / algebraic methods.
Problems involving Logical Reasoning are common in Physics. Students make mistakes in such problems by not reasoning the concepts correctly. Such problems are discussed in the below videos.
Solving one problem daily can sharpen problem-solving skills, build a steady learning rhythm, and lead to a deeper understanding of each concept over time. It also allows room for focused analysis and critical reflection, making this a sustainable approach for long-term improvement.
concept-wise questions helps you focus on one key idea at a time, making it easier to understand and remember. By practicing these questions, you’ll get a solid grasp of each concept, which makes solving complex problems simpler.
Resources for students and teachers available for all curriculum and for all the classes
Discover the core concepts of relativity in my five-video series for IBDP Physics. From Galilean and Lorentz Transformations to Relativistic Effects, Minkowski's Plots, and the intriguing Muon’s Half-Life, each video simplifies complex ideas with clear visuals and explanations. Perfect for mastering relativity!
" Though I had a lot of difficulties with physics, he patiently helped me throughout my IBDP journey. His passion for physics makes his teaching interesting and easy to understand, even for difficult concepts. Thanks to his support,
" Rathankar Sir has been an exceptional IBDP Physics teacher. His teaching is highly practical, making complex concepts easy to understand. What stands out most is the special interest he takes in each student, ensuring everyone grasps the material. His ability to connect theory with real-world applications has made learning physics both engaging and meaningful. I’m grateful for his guidance and support.:
