SIMPLIFIED PHYSICS CALCULATIONS: Worked Examples on Heat Energy

This is a physics book which is suitable for students in high schools or secondary schools. It will also serve as a useful tool for students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. Students in the higher institutions taking courses in physics will also find it useful; especially when there is need to improve on basic physics calculations under heat energy. This textbook contains great and useful formulas and worked examples under heat energy in physics. Many worked examples are provided to completely apply formulas provided and to cover the calculation aspect of heat energy. Each worked example has been well simplified in details to enhance a very clear understanding of calculations in this branch of physics. The author has ensured that the examples solved here, adequately prepare students for test and entrance examinations that involve calculations in physics. This book will also help students to fully understand the basics of calculations under heat energy. A lot of difficult and challenging questions in this aspect of physics have been solved in order to make students to fully grasp how complex questions are handled. Numerous exercises at the end of each chapter are intended to test students' understanding of the topic. These exercises can serve as a form of workbook for students. Therefore students are thus presented with an effective means of self-assessment whereby they can determine their individual strengths and revision needs. This book covers calculations in the following topics under heat/thermal energy: Linear expansivity, area expansivity, volume/cubic expansivity, real and apparent cubic expansivity, measurement of temperature, heat capacity and specific heat capacity, latent heat and specific latent heat, relative humidity, Boyle's law, Charles' law, pressure law and general gas law. I hope that this book will make the study of physics a truly enjoyable intellectual pursuit. A constructive review of this textbook will be highly appreciated from buyers so as to give ideas to others who intend to purchase a copy of this book, and also to be a form of advice for the author when revising the book.
