This text explores thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism, building on the foundations of mechanics. You’ll study heat and energy, electric charges and circuits, magnetic forces, and the unifying principles of Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves. With examples and practice problems, this text provides the tools to understand and apply these essential ideas in science and engineering.
