Explaining Physics: GCSE Edition By Stephen Pople

This new, enlarged edition of Explaining Physics contains all the essential concepts required by students studying physics as an individual GCSE subject, as part of a GCSE co-ordinated science course, or within any science course based on Key Stage 4 of the National Curriculum. Its comprehensive coverage of physics also makes it an ideal foundation for those students who intend to take their studies to a more advanced level. Explaining Physics emphasises the applications and social effects of physics, and extends its treatment of energy and electronics. The book contains eighty-eight separate units, each of which ends with simple questions designed to consolidate learning. These units are grouped into eight major sections; each section is introduced by a page bringing out the relevance of the material to everyday life, and is completed by an updated and extended selection of examination level questions. Numerical answers are included. There is also a helpful revision summary and an index.
