Default "which" and "in which"

I'm an English learner.
I see lots of sentences with phrase "in which" in the textbook.
What is the differences between the use of "which" and "in which"?

Hello elieli123,

"in which" refers to the context.
Example: There is an grammar book in which you can find more information.
in which = in the book

"which" refers to the object
Example: There is a new drug on the market which will destroy cancer.
which = a new drug

I hope that this is helpful for you
