Physics for Scientists and Engineers (Part 2: Electricity and Magnetism)

• Contents: This book covers fundamental principles of classical and modern physics, structured into 4 parts and 46 chapters.

  • Part 1: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Theory.
  • Part 2: Electricity and Magnetism, including AC circuits and electromagnetic waves.
  • Part 3: Mechanical Waves, Sound, Light, and Optics.
  • Part 4: Modern Physics, including Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Atomic and Nuclear Physics, and Particle Physics.

• Important Concepts: The book emphasizes a deep understanding of physical theories and principles through worked examples, progressively challenging problems, and review questions to aid learning and problem-solving skills.

  • Electric Charges: Properties of electric charges, including the existence of two types (positive and negative) and the conservation principle.
  • Coulomb's Law: Describes the force between two point charges.
  • Electric Fields: Defined as the force per unit charge.
  • Electric Fields due to Continuous Charge Distributions: Methods for calculating the electric field produced by continuous charge distributions (line, surface, and volume).
  • Electric Field Lines: Visual representations of electric fields.
  • Motion of Charged Particles in Electric Fields: How charged particles behave when placed in electric fields.
  • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs): Devices that accelerate beams of electrons and manipulate them using electric or magnetic fields.

• Problem-Solving Techniques: The book emphasizes methods for problem-solving, including worked examples, practice problems, and the use of graphical representations. It features interactive programs, web resources, and solutions manuals.

• Additional Features: The text includes illustrative examples in real-world applications to clarify physical concepts and principles. These applications encompass engineering fields and daily life. Problem sets with varying difficulty levels including numerical and symbolic problems help reinforce understanding and skills. Quick Labs, quick quizzes, and conceptual questions are included to verify the reader's comprehension.
