CALCULATIONS ON SELECTED TOPICS IN PHYSICS: Electricity, Heat Energy, Nuclear Physics, Vibrations and Waves

CALCULATIONS ON SELECTED TOPICS IN PHYSICS provides an easy way to gain a solid understanding of the basics of calculations in electricity, heat energy, nuclear physics, vibrations and waves. Assuming no background knowledge of these areas in physics, this clear and self teaching guide explains solved problems in ways that are very easy to understand. Exercises are given at the end of each topic for assessment of what has been studied in the topic. Answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book.This physics book is an ideal resource for students in high schools, colleges and universities. It will also serve as a useful textbook for those preparing for admission into higher institutions.Topics covered in this book include:ELECTRIC CURRENT RESISTORS IN CIRCUITSDIVISION OF CURRENT AND VOLTAGES BETWEEN RESISTORS IN CIRCUITS GENERAL CALCULATIONS IN ELECTRIC CIRCUITS ELECTRICAL ENERGY BUYING OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE LAWS OF ELECTROLYSIS CONVERSION OF GALVANOMETER TO AMMETER AND VOLTMETERALTERNATING CURRENT (A.C) CIRCUIT RESISTOR, INDUCTOR AND CAPACITOR (R-L-C) CIRCUIT IN SERIES LINEAR EXPANSIVITY AREA EXPANSIVITYVOLUME EXPANSIVITYREAL AND APPARENT CUBIC EXPANSIVITYMEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATUREHEAT ENERGY – HEAT CAPACITY AND SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY CHANGE OF STATE – LATENT HEAT AND SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY RELATIVE HUMIDITY BOYLE’S LAW CHARLES’ LAW PRESSURE LAW GENERAL GAS LAW AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS BINDING ENERGY RADIOACTIVITY BALANCING NUCLEAR REACTION HALF-LIFE AND RADIOACTIVE DECAY ACTIVITY AND MASS ENERGY FROM FISSION REACTION ENERGY FROM FUSION REACTION ATOMIC ENERGY LEVELPHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY OF MATTER SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION ENERGY IN SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION CIRCULAR MOTION WAVE MOTION ECHOES BEAT VIBRATION OF AIR COLUMN IN PIPES MODES OF VIBRATION OF A STRETCHED STRING CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUND – THE PITCH DOPPLER EFFECTS IN SOUNDThis book follows a self-guided approach which enables you to move through the material at your own pace―gradually building upon your knowledge while you strengthen your critical thinking and problem-solving skills.This textbook breaks down difficult calculations into simpler steps.
