ENGINEERING PHYSICS, 2ND EDITION

From the very beginning, it has been
realised that the best exploration of technology is based on better
understanding of fundamental principles of science. In view of this universal
fact, we are happy to present this new and second edition of the textbook for
the UG students of science and engineering.

In this book, the subject matter is explained in adequate detail and
includes the syllabi of almost all Indian technological universities. Solved
examples and practice problems have been provided for all chapters. Practice
exercises including numerical problems, multiple-choice questions, and
fill-in-the-blanks are provided along with answers to build up the confidence
of students and to encourage them to study the topic in-depth.

Noting that a large number of texts on engineering physics existing today
mostly do not discuss the modern aspects of new engineering materials and
their applications in recent technology, this comprehensive text was designed
by the authors and presents a balanced account of the fundamentals of physics
as well as some of the recent developments in this area best suited to
engineering applications. To comprehend the crux of a chapter at a glance,
formulae and highlights are given at the end of each chapter. Difficult
topics have been explained in simple language with suitable illustrations.
Questions asked in various technological university examinations have been
included within the solved examples and in chapter-end exercises.
