About this title

Synopsis

This book is a sequel to the author’s Engineering Physics, Part I and is written to address the course curriculum in Engineering Physics-II of the B.Tech syllabus of the Anna University. The book is designed to serve the needs of the first-year undergraduate students of all branches of engineering. It provides a sound understanding of the important phenomena in physics.The book exposes the students to fundamental knowledge in areasProperties of metals; Drude–Lorentz theory of metals; Wiedemann–Frenz law; Lorentz number; Quantum free electron theory; Band theory of solids.Properties of semiconducting materials; compound semiconductors; Hall effect in semiconductors.Magnetic behaviour of materials and their classification into diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials; explanation of hysteresis; hard and soft magnetic materials.Phenomenon of superconductivity, properties and types of superconductors; BCS theory of superconductivity; normal and superconducting tunnelling; applications of superconductors.Properties of dielectric materials; types of polarization, dielectric losses; dielectric breakdown; applications of dielectric materials; ferroelectric materials.Properties of metallic glasses; introduction to nanomaterials and their applications; properties of carbon nanotubes and their applications; shape memory alloys; properties of biomaterials.KEY FEATURESNumerous worked-out examples in text to give students a sound understanding of the subject.Chapter-end summary for quick revision of the important results.Chapter-end short and long answer questions to stimulate discussion on the major themes in the chapter.Chapter-end numerical problems with answers to help students assess their progress and familiarize them with many of the types of questions set in exams.
