ECAT Entry Test - Physics

Physics is one of the four parts of ECAT paper. This portion contains 30 questions. The chapters and topics of Physics the engineering college entry test includes have been covered in Physics section of ECAT at instutor.com. You can watch the video lectures delivered by professional and well experienced teachers who will teach you the concepts of Physics. They will also tell you how to study the subject in order to gain full score in the exam

Subject Details

University of Engineering College (UET) ECAT contains MCQs of 120 marks from Physics. These MCQs are based on theory and formulae. Students can attempt these questions if they have grabbed the concepts listed in their intermediate books. The Physics part contains total thirty questions, each of four marks. Leave the question unattempted, if you are not sure about the answer. A wrong answer will lead you to the marks deduction from whole.

 

  • Measurement:

In this chapter students will get the concepts of physical quantities, international system of units, prefixes, uncertainty and error.

  • Vector and Equilibrium:

Here students will learn different types of vectors, their components and resolution, their product. They will also study about torque and equilibrium conditions.
