Most-confused formulas

The 6 Class 11 formulas students get wrong most often

Distance in the nth second

sn = u + a(2n − 1)/2

It is a distance in one second, not after n seconds — so its unit is still metre.

Banking with friction

vmax = √[rg(tanθ + μ)/(1 − μtanθ)]

Without friction it collapses to v = √(rg tanθ). Check which case the question wants.

Parallel axis theorem

I = Icm + Md2

Only valid from the centre of mass axis. Using any other axis as the base is the classic error.

Capillary rise

h = 2S cosθ / (rρg)

r is the radius of the tube, not of the meniscus; θ > 90° makes h negative (depression).

Adiabatic relation

PVγ = constant, TVγ−1 = constant

γ = 5/3 (monoatomic), 7/5 (diatomic). Mixing up the two exponents costs full marks.

Closed vs open pipe

closed: f = (2n−1)v/4L   open: f = nv/2L

A closed pipe gives only odd harmonics — that single fact answers most pipe questions.
