Iit Jam - Emt 2021 PDF

This document analyzes the Electricity & Magnetism (EMT) section of the past 6 IIT JAM exams. It finds that EMT covers more than 20% of the exam syllabus and had between 8-11 questions worth 15-19 marks. The most common topics tested are electrostatics, capacitors, AC circuits, Maxwell's equations, reflection/refraction of EM waves, and Lorentz force. It recommends studying introductory texts by Griffith and Purcell and problems in Griffith, and outlines the key subtopics and books to focus on.
