Electricity and Thermal Physics Summary

Electricity and Thermal Physics by Mark Ellse

Clear, accessible layout and design make the texts suitable for a range of student abilities. Up-to-date examples can be used to aid student understanding of important principles and reinforce teaching. Texts can be used according to chapters or as self contained, dip-in resources, so teaching can be adapted to particular needs. Worked examples help students apply their knowledge and also aid understanding. Typical examination questions enable students to prepare for exams.
