Features: Physics Major Problem Dictionary is the result of long-term collaborative effort by 30 senior professors from the University of Science and Technology of China. This large-scale series of physics problem-solving books originated from the renowned American Physics Problems and Solutions series in the field of Chinese physics. American Physics Problems and Solutions was the outcome of the CUSPEA project, primarily featuring solved problems from the entrance examinations of graduate schools at prestigious universities in the United States. The revision work for this edition spanned nearly two years. In addition to continuing to cover all fundamental physics content—such as mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electricity, modern physics, and the "four great forces of mechanics"—the series now also includes topics like nuclear physics, particle physics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, laser physics, quantum optics, and quantum information physics, broadly encompassing the full range of undergraduate physics courses in comprehensive universities today. The revision has incorporated recent examination questions from the United States, China, Russia, and other countries, as well as some problems derived from the scientific research achievements of the editorial team. Physics Major Problem Dictionary is guided by advanced educational concepts, emphasizing physics, interdisciplinary subjects, and integration with scientific research, making it rich in "contemporary relevance" and serving as an essential reference for physics faculty and students. Physics Major Problem Dictionary is a large-scale, comprehensive series of physics problem-solving books. The series covers the full range of undergraduate physics content in comprehensive universities: from classical physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electricity, modern physics) to the "four great forces of mechanics," as well as nuclear physics, particle physics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, laser physics, quantum optics, and quantum information. The content is up-to-date, emphasizing physics, interdisciplinary subjects, and integration with scientific research. The Electromagnetism and Electrodynamics volume includes topics such as electrostatics, static magnetism, quasi-steady electromagnetic fields, circuit analysis, the propagation of electromagnetic waves, the radiation of electromagnetic waves, relativistic electrodynamics, and the interaction between electromagnetic fields and media. The series can serve as a learning guide for undergraduate physics majors, a reference for graduate entrance examinations, and a teaching resource for physics instructors at various universities.
