# Important Derivations for CBSE Class 12 Physics

Physics can be a scary ordeal for some and a very interesting subject for the rest. There are many scholars who want a program or some tips about important topics that support and help them in studying physics. With a proper preparation strategy, an idea about the important questions, derivations, and formulas in physics, a student can definitely score well in the main physics exam.

Here we would like to provide the important derivations of CBSE class 12 physics class 12 to help you score well in boards. Check the table below to learn some important derivations for Class 12 Physics.

List of Physics Derivations

The syllabus of CBSE class 12 physics is vast. It contains a total of 10 units or 15 chapters. It is important for students to know the important topics and derivations in class 12 physics to study efficiently. Given below are the important derivations for class 12 physics.
