This book is intended as a textbook for the first-year undergraduate engineering students of all disciplines. The text, written in a student-friendly manner, covers a wide range of topics of engineering interest both from the domains of applied and modern physics. It is meticulously tailored to cover the syllabi needs of almost all the Indian universities and institutes. With its exhaustive treatment of different topics in one volume, it relieves the engineering students of the arduous task of referring to several books. Besides engineering students, this book will be equally useful to the BSc (Physics) students of different universities. KEY FEATURES Simple and clear diagrams throughout the book help students in understanding the concepts clearly. Numerous in-chapter solved problems, chapter-end unsolved problems (with answers) and review questions assist students in assimilating the theory comprehensively. A large number of objective type questions at the end of each chapter help students in testing their knowledge of the theory.

For upper-level undergraduates and graduate students: an introduction to the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, emphasizing aspects essential to an understanding of solid-state theory. Numerous problems (and selected answers), projects, exercises.

Linking physics fundamentals to modern technology-a highly applied primer for students and engineers Reminding us that modern inventions-new materials, information technologies, medical technological breakthroughs-are based on well-established fundamental principles of physics, Jasprit Singh integrates important topics from quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, and materials science, as well as the special theory of relativity. He then goes a step farther and applies these fundamentals to the workings of electronic devices-an essential leap for anyone interested in developing new technologies. From semiconductors to nuclear magnetic resonance to superconducting materials to global positioning systems, Professor Singh draws on wide-ranging applications to demonstrate each concept under discussion. He downplays extended mathematical derivations in favor of results and their real-world design implication, supplementing the book with nearly 100 solved examples, 120 figures, and 200 end-of-chapter problems. Modern Physics for Engineers provides engineering and physics students with an accessible, unified introduction to the complex world underlying today's design-oriented curriculums. It is also an extremely useful resource for engineers and applied scientists wishing to take advantage of research opportunities in diverse fields.

A Txtbook of Engineering Physics is written with two distinct objectives:to provied a single source of information for engineering undergraduates of different specializations and provied them a solid base in physics.Successivs editions of the book incorporated topic as required by students pursuing their studies in various universities.In this new edition the contents are fine-tuned,modeinized and updated at various stages.

Physics for Engineers is designed to serve as a text for the first course in physics for engineering students of most of the technical universities in India. It can also be used as an introductory text for science graduates. This book, now in its Second Edition, is updated as per the feedback received from the students and faculties. Quite a number of topics have been either revised or updated, of course, maintaining flow and presentation of the book. The present approach is more focused and provides a clear, precise and accessible coverage of fundamentals of physics through succinct presentation, logical organization, and sound pedagogical order. Extensive care has been taken to apprise the students regarding the applied aspects of the concepts in physics. Most of the complex ideas are supported by explanatory figures to make the underlying concepts easy to understand and grasp. At the end of each chapter, numerous short answer questions, multiple choice questions and solved problems are included to brush up the chapter fast, quickly and effectively especially before exams. NEW TO THIS EDITION • Several new Short Questions and Solved Problems are added. • Some of the chapters are redesigned to make it more comprehensive and informative. • New topics have been added in Chapters 1, 3, 4, 9, 11, 17, 18 and 19. • A new appendix on Lorentz Force Equation is also included.

Leading experts explore the exotic properties and exciting applications of electromagnetic metamaterials Metamaterials: Physics and Engineering Explorations gives readers a clearly written, richly illustrated introduction to the most recent research developments in the area of electromagnetic metamaterials. It explores the fundamental physics, the designs, and the engineering aspects, and points to a myriad of exciting potential applications. The editors, acknowledged leaders in the field of metamaterials, have invited a group of leading researchers to present both their own findings and the full array of state-of-the-art applications for antennas, waveguides, devices, and components. Following a brief overview of the history of artificial materials, the publication divides its coverage into two major classes of metamaterials. The first half of the publication examines effective media with single (SNG) and double negative (DNG) properties; the second half examines electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures. The book further divides each of these classes into their three-dimensional (3D volumetric) and two-dimensional (2D planar or surface) realizations. Examples of each type of metamaterial are presented, and their known and anticipated properties are reviewed. Collectively, Metamaterials: Physics and Engineering Explorations presents a review of recent research advances associated with a highly diverse set of electromagnetic metamaterials. Its multifaceted approach offers readers a combination of theoretical, numerical, and experimental perspectives for a better understanding of their behaviors and their potentialapplications in components, devices, and systems. Extensive reference lists provide opportunities to explore individual topics and classes of metamaterials in greater depth. With full-color illustrations throughout to clarify concepts and help visualize actual results, this book provides a dynamic, user-friendly resource for students, engineers, physicists, and other researchers in the areas of electromagnetic materials, microwaves, millimeter waves, and optics. It equips newcomers with a basic understanding of metamaterials and their potential applications. Advanced researchers will benefit from thought-provoking perspectives that will deepen their knowledge and lead them to new areas of investigation.
