Electric Charge and Electric Field -- 22. Gauss's Law -- 23. Electric Potential -- 24. Capacitance and Dielectrics -- 25. Current, Resistance, and Electromotive Force -- 26. Direct-Current Circuits -- 27. Magnetic Field and Magnetic Forces -- 28. Sources of Magnetic Field -- 29. Electromagnetic Induction -- 30. Inductance -- 31. Alternating Current -- 32. Electromagnetic Waves -- OPTICS -- 33. The Nature and Propagation of Light -- 34. Geometric Optics and Optical Instruments -- 35. Interference -- 36. Diffraction -- MODERN PHYSICS -- 37. Relativity -- 38. Photons: Light Waves Behaving as Particles -- 39. Particles Behaving as Waves -- 40. Quantum Mechanics -- 41. Atomic Structure -- 42. Molecules and Condensed Matter -- 43. Nuclear Physics -- 44. Particle Physics and Cosmology.
Summary: University Physics is known for its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful set of worked examples-key tools for developing both physical understanding and problem-solving skills. The Thirteenth Edition revises all the Examples and Problem-Solving Strategies to be more concise and direct while maintaining the Twelfth Edition's consistent, structured approach and strong focus on modeling as well as math. To help students tackle challenging as well as routine problems, the Thirteenth Edition adds Bridging Problems to each chapter, which pose a difficult, multiconcept problem and provide a skeleton solution guide in the form of questions and hints.
