Engineering Physics

This book is written strictly in accordance with the new syllabus prescribed by Visveswaraiah Technological University, Belgaum, Karnataka. To explain the basics lucidly, computerised figures have been added in the text. This volume contains more than 200 line diagrams. The text of the book covers the following topics: Modern Physics Electrical Conductivity in Metals Dielectrics: Magnetic Properties of Materials Superconductivity Applied Optics: Holography and Optical Fibers Crystal Structures Materials Science Nondestructive Testing Deformation and Creep in Materials The explanations are simple and precise. Mathematical derivations are specific. A large number of unsolved numerical problems and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter to check the student s grasp. Solutions to the Problems included in this textbook are given in Problems and Solutions in ENGINEERING PHYSICS by the same author. A CD for the materials science is provided along with this book which contains over 1600 PowerPoint presentation slides of the latest research in engineering and current trends in engineering "Modern Physics Electrical Conductivity in Metals Dielectrics: Magnetic Properties of Materials Superconductivity Applied Optics: Holography and Optical Fibers Crystal Structures Materials Science Nondestructive Testing Deformation and Creep in Materials"
