Lectures in Physics, Volume II: Mechanics of Electricity, Magnetism, Optics, and Beyond delves into the intricate dynamics governing macro- and micro-planetary systems, focusing on the interplay between gravitational and electromagnetic forces in the context of quantized planetary motion. The text extends into advanced scientific concepts such as relativity, enriching the reader's grasp of the fundamental forces of nature and the ongoing intellectual endeavor to understand electric, magnetic, and optical properties of materials-as well as the very fabric of space and time.
This volume systematically unpacks the relationship between electricity, magnetism, and optics, expanding beyond the bounds of classical Newtonian mechanics to offer a comprehensive and modern perspective on the physical universe. Core topics include vector fields, time dilation, orbital quantization, reduced mass, electromagnetic wave propagation, and electric current, all presented in accessible and clearly structured explanations.
Lectures in Physics, Volume II is the second installment in a two-volume series crafted to support students learning of critical science concepts and their real-world applications.
