What kind of book is this?

A Federal Board science textbook is not a guide or a set of notes. It is the official course text that the class teacher teaches from, and the one that the chapter exercises, the board's paper makers and the school tests all follow. This one is the Class 10 physics book built on the 2022-23 National Curriculum. Its units are numbered 10 to 21, so the first unit you meet is Unit 10, not Unit 1.

The topics are the ones a Class 10 science student needs for the second year of the secondary stage: heat, waves and sound, light, the whole of electricity from static charge to household wiring, electronics, magnetism and the structure of the nucleus. A student who prefers a short reminder can use the Summary at the end of each unit; the Exercise after it is where the practice lives.

The book in four blocks

The twelve units fall into four natural blocks, and it helps to study them as blocks.

Heat, matter and waves (units 10 to 12, pages 11–92). Heat capacity and the three ways heat moves, then how solids and liquids expand and change state, then the general idea of a wave. The section on the greenhouse effect and global warming (page 31) and the one on tsunamis (page 88) connect school physics to things children read in the news.

Sound and light (units 13 and 14, pages 93–158). Sound is treated from its source to the human ear, with separate sections on ultrasound, infrasound, noise, echo and acoustics. Optics covers reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, thin lenses and the eye. Two of its sections have unusual names, Gravitational Lensing and Acoustic Lenses, so read those with the teacher's notes.

Electricity (units 15 to 19, pages 159–280). The largest block. Static charge and the electroscope come first, then current, potential difference, resistance and Ohm's law, then circuits and household safety, then semiconductors, diodes, transistors and logic gates, and finally magnetic effects, motors, generators, the transformer and the cathode ray oscilloscope.

Light's nature and the nucleus (units 20 and 21, pages 281–350). The electromagnetic spectrum, its uses and risks, scattering and the nature of light, then the discovery of the nucleus, isotopes, radioactivity, half-life, fission and fusion, dark matter and falsifiability.

Study plan for the 2027-28 session

Term 1 (heat, waves, sound): units 10 to 13 are about 110 pages in total. Do one unit per month and the matching Exercise the same week.
Term 2 (light and electricity): units 14 to 17 contain most of the numerical work. Practise the calculation sections (potential difference, Ohm's law, combination of resistors, electrical power) with the Summary page open.
Term 3 (electronics, magnetism, nuclear): units 18 to 21. The logic-gate sections (pages 249–251) and half-life (page 322) are short and easy to revise.
Before the board exam in 2028: read every Summary in order (pages 38, 69, 89, 116, 153, 179, 201, 229, 254, 276, 303, 345), then redo the exercises you got wrong.
