Calculations on Heat, Waves, Sound and Electricity Kingsley Augustine

This book, Waves, Heat and Electrical Calculations, has been carefully written to teach you calculations in waves, sound, heat and electricity, by explaining them with a mindset to fully equip you in the topics. This textook is a 'physics teacher' which is suitable for students in high schools and colleges. It also serves as a useful tool for students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. The step by step explanations presented in the numerous worked examples are easy to understand since care was taken to sufficiently explain salient points and ideas. Numerous exercises at the end of each chapter are provided to test students' understanding of the topic. Therefore students are thus presented with an effective means of self-assessment whereby they can determine their individual strengths and revision needs. The topics covered in this book include: LINEAR EXPANSIVITY AREA EXPANSIVITY VOLUME EXPANSIVITY REAL AND APPARENT CUBIC EXPANSIVITY MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE HEAT ENERGY - HEAT CAPACITY AND SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY CHANGE OF STATE - LATENT HEAT AND SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT RELATIVE HUMIDITY BOYLE'S LAW CHARLES' LAW PRESSURE LAW\CHAPTER 12 GENERAL GAS LAW 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 SOUND ELECTRIC CURRENT RESISTORS IN CIRCUITS DIVISION 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 VOLTMETER ALTERNATING CURRENT (A.

Learners will find these topics well simplified, thereby making heat, waves, sounds and electricity more interesting. A constructive review of this physics textbook will be highly appreciated from buyers so as to give an overview to others who intend to purchase a copy of it, and also to serve a form of advice to the author when revising the book.
