The Basics of Physics . General Physics Course . Volume 2" by Belonuchkin V. E. , Zaikin D. A. and Tsipenyuk Yu. M. It is a fascinating and deep immersion into the world of physical laws and phenomena that shape our understanding of the surrounding reality. This volume continues the traditions of the first edition, offering readers not only theoretical foundations but also practical aspects that make the study of physics accessible and interesting. In the second volume, the authors cover a wide range of topics, including thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physical concepts. Each chapter is imbued with clear explanations and examples that help the reader not only to assimilate the material, but also to see how physics manifests itself in everyday life. For example, you will be able to learn how the laws of thermodynamics affect the operation of modern technologies, or how the principles of electromagnetism underlie the operation of a variety of devices, from mobile phones to electric machines. The book is intended for students and teachers, as well as for anyone interested in physics and seeking to expand their knowledge in this area. It will be especially useful for those who are preparing for exams or want to deepen their knowledge for scientific work. Thanks to the available language and logically structured material, even those who do not have deep knowledge in physics will be able to easily navigate complex topics. The topics raised in Fundamentals of Physics go beyond the simple study of formulas and laws. The authors emphasize the importance of critical thinking and scientific approach, which makes the book not only a textbook, but also a real guide to the development of analytical skills. Readers will be able to see how physics interacts with other sciences, such as chemistry and biology, and how it affects our understanding of the world as a whole. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and accessibility, which makes the material easy to perceive. Belonuchkin, Zaikin and Tsipenyuk are known for their ability to explain complex concepts in simple language, which makes their work in demand among students and teachers. Their previous editions, such as "Fundamentals of Physics. General Physics Course . Volume 1” has already won recognition, and the second volume continues this tradition, offering readers high-quality and relevant
