Essential Trig-based Physics Study Guide Workbook: Electricity and Magnetism

Description

This combination of physics study guide and workbook focuses on essential problem-solving skills and strategies: • Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard university physics problems. • Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units. • Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples. • Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise. • Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained. This volume covers electricity and magnetism, including electric fields, Gauss’s law, circuits, Kirchhoff’s rules, magnetic fields, right-hand rules, the law of Biot-Savart, Ampere’s law, Lenz’s law, Faraday’s law, AC circuits, an introduction to Maxwell’s equations, and more.
