This book offers readers an engaging and accessible reading of the Engineering Physics syllabus, as per the Indian National Education Policy 2020 and approved by the All India Council for Technical Education. The book demystifies and simplifies the complex concepts of wave optics, lasers, quantum mechanics, vector calculus, electrostatics, magnetostatics, electromagnetic waves, semiconductors, and electronic materials through relatable analogies and applications.
It contains more than 225 multiple-choice questions with keys, 150 solved problems, a question bank of unsolved problems, 380 very short answer-type questions, 200 short answer-type questions, and 130 descriptive questions, in line with the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) examination curriculum. The book also contains around 100 diagrams and a few tables to aid the understanding of readers. A summary section, included at the end of each chapter, serves as a ready reckoner for the concepts in Engineering Physics.
This textbook caters to need of undergraduate students studying Physics as major and/or minor paper in the FYUGP of the Indian Universities and colleges. With lucid presentation and insightful explanations, this book is a must-have for aspiring engineers.
Key features:
- The book covers the complete Engineering Physics syllabus for the FYUGP.
- It demystifies complex concepts through relatable analogies and practical applications.
- It includes a rich question bank and practice materials to aid self-assessment and learning.
