This text provides for a clear understanding of how electricity is produced, measured, controlled and used. A minimum of mathematics is used for direct explanations of primary cells, magnetism, Ohm's Law, capacitance, transformers, DC generators, and AC motors. Other essential topics covered include conductance, current flow, electromagnetism and meters.

This widely used textbook includes such subjects as the electrostatic field in vacuum; boundary conditions and relation of microscopic to macroscopic fields; general methods for the solution of potential problems; and Maxwell's equations, among others. 

This work by a noted physicist takes a look at a fundamental of physics, tracing its development from ancient to modern times. Kepler’s initiation of scientific conceptualization, Newton’s definition, post-Newtonian reinterpretation—contrasting concepts of Leibniz, Boscovich, Kant with those of Mach, Kirchhoff, and Hertz.  

For decades, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has provided scientific and engineering communities around the world with the broad range of current and critically evaluated data required by their constantly and rapidly evolving technical fields. Over the past ten years, revisions to the Handbook have kept up with semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors; addressed environmental concerns by providing data on pollutants, contaminants, global warming, and ground water contamination; and revised pertinent data to stay up-to-date with IUPAC standards.

This newly republished edition contains the complete text and
photographs from the previous two volumes of Dr. Hans Jenny's  books — Cymatics and Cymatics, Vol. II — which vividly
depict how audible sound structures matter. More than 350 photos portray Dr. Jenny's scientific experiments in which audible sounds excite
powders, pastes, and liquids into lifelike, flowing forms that reflect
a variety of patterns found throughout nature, art, and architecture.

This book covers concepts relating to electrical theory, as well as giving practical examples of many of the common tasks that electricians must perform.

This text begins with a coverage of the fundamentals of direct current. This leads to a unified presentation of subjects generally associated with alternating currents. Throughout the text, concepts build from one chapter to another. This enables students to develop a unified understanding of electricity and the applications of electricity.

The major emphasis of this book is on basic principles and problem formulation. Shows both the cohesiveness of the fundamental ideas and the great variety of problems that these ideas solve.

This book provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer. Contains hundred of problems and examples dealing with real engineering processes and systems.

This book attempts to convey an understanding and appreciation for the concepts and principles of Physics by finding them within specific objects of everyday experience. 

A complete basic undergraduate-level course in modern optics for students in physics, technology and engineering. The first half deals with classical physical optics; the second, the quantum nature of light. Many applications of the laser to optics are integrated throughout the text.

This book covers the behavior of waves in two parts, with the first part addressing hyperbolic waves and the second addressing dispersive waves. The mathematical principles are presented along with examples of specific cases in communications and specific physical fields, including flood waves in rivers, waves in glaciers, traffic flow, sonic booms, blast waves, and ocean waves from storms.

This site provides a series of online textbooks covering electricity
and electronics. This chapter includes information on magnetism and electromagnetism.

This book concentrates on the topics covered in typical first courses in Fluid Mechanics and covers underlying math and physics principles. 

Mechanics of Fluids presents fluid mechanics so that students gain an understanding of and an ability to analyze the important phenomena encountered by practicing engineers.

This textbook covers wave motion, electromagnetic theory, propagation of light, geometrical optics, superimposition of waves, polarization, interference, diffraction, fourier optics, lasers and more.

In Physics Demystified best-selling author Stan Gibilisco offers a fun, effective way to learn the fundamentals and general concepts of physics. With Physics Demystified you master the subject one simple step at a time – at your own speed. In order to make the learning process as clear and simple as possible, heavy-duty math, formulas, and equations are kept to a minimum. This unique self-teaching guide offers questions at the end of each chapter and section to pinpoint weaknesses, and a 100-question final exam to reinforce the entire book.

This text presents material on topics associated with electricity, magnetism. and light. 

When it comes to understanding physics, even good students can be confused. Physics for the Utterly Confused is perfect for students in first or second semester non-calculus based physics courses, and is equally useful to anyone taking their first physics course. Problems are thoroughly explained, show all the math steps and explain all the concepts. This book will help you understand how to do your homework problems and get ready for your exams.

This classic book provides a complete picture of optics as a whole and is meant to be a reference for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in any area of optics.

A classic from 1969, this book is based on a series of lectures delivered at the Les Houches Summer School of Theoretical Physics in 1955. The book outlines a general scheme of quantum kinematics and dynamics.

Schaum's Outline of Thermodynamics for Engineers gives you clear explanations of theory, as well as numerous examples of practical applications. It takes you step by step through the subject, giving you lots of example problems with fully worked solutions. 

Intended for high school and college students required to take at least one physics course, this book offers an easy-to-understand, comprehensive companion to physics textbooks. 

Wynn and Wiggins use five fundamental ideas - physics' model of the atom, chemistry's periodic law, astronomy's Big Bang theory, geology's plate tectonics model, and biology's theory of evolution - to help lay readers "comprehend, appreciate, and evaluate the world of science." In explaining the thinking that led to each "Big Idea," the authors outline the scientific method and demystify the process.

This original compilation is based on seven classic works of physics and astronomy which, read in chronological order, trace the evolution of modern science.
