Fully Solved Examples from Physics with Calculus (Electricity & Magnetism)
Chris McMullen, Ph.D.
Learn physics from a university instructor with over 20 years of experience teaching calculus-based (and trig-based) physics in California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.
How does this book help you learn physics?
Clear explanations; communication is vital toward learning physics.
Explaining key steps in the math.
Explaining concepts as they relate to the problem.
Designed to help students.
Each example is fully solved with explanations.
Examples were selected to illustrate important problem-solving strategies.
Topics covered in Volume 2:
Coulomb's law, electric field, electrostatics
electric field integrals, Gauss's law, electric potential
circuits with capacitors, circuits with resistors, Ohm's law
the resistor cube, Kirchhoff's rules, resistivity, RC circuits
magnetic field, magnetic force, magnets, right-hand rules
Ampere's law, the law of Biot-Savart, Faraday's law, Lenz's law, inductance
AC circuits
Maxwell's equations
Both classic and new problems are included.
Some classic problems/examples include:
superposition of electric fields
electric field map for an electric dipole
Gauss's law and electric field integrals for standard geometries
equivalent capacitance, equivalent resistance, and Kirchhoff's rules
the three variations of the resistor cube
Ampere's law and the law of Biot-Savart for standard geometries
Maxwell's equations
This book includes problems that involve calculus skills.
Physics with calculus, Volume 1 (motion), covered in detail (motion, Newton's laws, circular motion, work/energy, satellites, center of mass, collisions, rotation).
Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems. These are actually the solutions to the problems from Essential Calculus-based Physics Study Guide Workbook.
Trig-based physics, Volume 1 (motion). It's basically the calculus-based physics book without any of the calculus.
Over 100 fully solved examples of trig-based physics problems. These are actually the solutions to the problems from Essential Trig-based Physics Study Guide Workbook.
Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems, Volume 2 (electricity and magnetism).
Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems, Volume 3 (waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light).
Essential skills from physics with calculus. Volume 1 covers motion.
In-depth coverage of calculus-based physics. There is currently just one volume of the "Advanced Introduction," whereas there are 3 volumes of "Essential Calculus-based Physics."
Modern physics covers special relativity, blackbody radiation, the Compton effect, the photoelectric effect, Bohr's model, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger's equation.
Detailed and in-depth coverage of thermal physics across undergraduate physics.
