Chapter-5(Maxwell's Equations): The derivation of Maxwell's equations is given in class 11 cbse, focus is made on displacement current, displacement potential(vacuum), and potential due to an arbitrary distribution of charge. Further, the derivation of Euler for electrostatics is included in the book.

Chapter-7 (Voltage Law): The book contains results of joint measurement of voltage and resistance. The derivation for voltage current relation is also given using the v-j law. The v-j law is also used to find the internal resistance of a resistive element.

Chapter 8 (Ampere's Circuit): The book states that the current due to non uniform magnetic field is zero.It also states that emf of a loop with uniform magnetic field is zero. The ampere's circuital law for closed loop is derived through cross product of B and I, where B is given by curl A.Further,the result of equivalence of current due to varying potential and varying magnetic flux through a loop are stated in the book.The derivation for current due to varying magnetic fields through a closed loop is also given.

Chapter-19(Mass Properties): In the book the effect of temperature on mass is stated.The mass of a solid is assumed to be constant and its units are given as units of kilograms.The density of a binary, solid, liquid or gaseous compound is also stated in this section.Further,the state specific heat capacity at constant pressure and temperature is given in the book.
