Problems in General Physics

This book of problems is intended as a textbook for student at higher educational institutions studying advanced course in physics. Besides, because of the great number of simple problem it may be used by students studying a general course in physics. The book contains about 1900 problems with hint for solving the most complicated ones. For students' convenience each chapter opens with a time-saving summary of the principal formulas for the relevant area of physics. As a rule the formulas are given without detailed explanations since a student, starting solving a problem, is assumed to know the meaning of the quantities appearing in the formulas. Explanatory notes are only given in those cases when misunderstanding may arise.
