Questions On General Physics

This book is a collection of 954 multiple-choice questions in waves, thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism. These questions have been given, over couple of years, to the students of General Physics II course (Phys102) at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. They are organized according to the sections of Phys102 textbook: Fundamental of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker, 6th edition. This collection might be very helpful for students preparing for exams in Phys102 or similar courses. We advise students strongly to study and understand the course material very well before attempting practicing some of these questions. Instructors might also find this book a valuable source for questions that can be used in examples or tests. The statistics provided with some of the questions might be very valuable in comparing performances. العبيكان للنشر

In the 300 years since Newton’s seminal work, physics has explained many things that used to be mysterious. Particularly in the last century, physics has addressed a range of questions, from the smallest fundamental particles to the large-scale structure and history of the entire universe. But there are always more questions. Suitable for a wide audience, Commonly Asked Questions in Physics covers a broad scope of subjects, from classical physics that goes back to the age of Newton to new ideas just formulated in the twenty-first century. The book highlights the core areas of physics that predate the twentieth century, including mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. It also focuses on modern physics, covering quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, fundamental particles, and relativity. Each chapter explains the numbers and units used to measure things and some chapters include a "Going Deeper" feature that provides more mathematical details for readers who are up to the challenge. The suggested readings at the end of each chapter range from classic textbooks to some of the best books written for the general public, offering readers the option to study the topic in more depth. Physics affects our lives nearly every day—using cell phones, taking x-rays, and much more. Keeping the mathematics at a very basic level, this accessible book addresses many physics questions frequently posed by physics students, scientists in other fields, and the wider public.
