The Britannica Guide to Heat, Force, and Motion


Book Description

Many of the worlds most common processes and interactions are governed by the laws of thermodynamics and mechanics. While the transfer, release, or absorption of heat often accompany chemical reactions or seem inherent to mechanical systems, they are also familiar to anyone who has ever spent time outdoors on a warm day or touched a hot plate. Likewise, any physical bodylarge or small, solid or fluidis subject to a wide range of forces that trigger motion. This detailed compendium explores the foundations and laws of both thermodynamics and mechanics as well as the lives of those individuals who helped advance these fundamental areas of physics.

Britannica Electricity AndMagnetism


Book Description

Electricity and magnetism are elements of electromagnetism, the science ofrate and of the forces and fields related to price. Electricity andmagnetism were long thought to be separate forces. It changed into no longer until the 19thcentury that they were subsequently handled as interrelated phenomena. In 1905 AlbertEinstein's unique idea of relativity mounted beyond a doubt that each areaspects of 1 commonplace phenomenon. At a realistic level, however, electric powered andmagnetic forces behave pretty otherwise and are defined by distinctiveequations. Electric forces are produced by means of electric powered fees either at rest or inmovement. Magnetic forces, on the opposite hand, are produced best by using shiftingfees and act completely on charges in movement.Electric phenomena arise even in impartial be counted because the forces act on theman or woman charged constituents. The electric pressure, in unique, is responsiblefor maximum of the bodily and chemical homes of atoms and molecules. It isenormously strong in comparison with gravity. For example, the absence of handiest oneelectron out of every billion molecules in two 70-kg (154-pound) personsstanding two metres ( yards) aside would repel them with a 30,000-ton force.On a greater acquainted scale, electric phenomena are responsible for the lightningand thunder accompanying positive storms.Electric and magnetic forces can be detected in areas referred to as electric powered andmagnetic fields. These fields are fundamental in nature and might exist in area some distancefrom the price or contemporary that generated them.
