Course text: University Physics, Sears, Zemansky, Young & Freedman (SZYF), 13th Ed.
The sections in the SZYF textbook that are examinable are indicated at the start of each section
below. Sections in parentheses are of lesser importance; sections shown with strikethrough are
not examinable. SZYF has some pretty good Strategy suggestions for common types of
problems these are a useful resource.
You will be given any needed constants/coefficients.
Ch. 17: Temperature and Heat
17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6, 17.7
A lot of introductory material the sections on thermal energy (Q), heat capacity and phase
changes are the most important. You need not worry about thermal stress in 17.4.
Ch. 18: Thermal Properties of Matter
18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 18.5, 18.6
Equations of state, and the kinetic theory, are important foundations for this chapter. You will
not be asked to derive the results of the kinetic theory analysis, including mean free path result;
nor will you be asked to derive expressions for most probable, average or rms speeds; however
you may need to use the results from these derivations.
Ch. 19: First Law of Thermodynamics
19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 19.5, 19.6, 19.7, 19.8
Work done by gases, and the introduction of internal energy, pave the way for energy
conservation now in the context of thermodynamic, i.e. the first law. We mostly focus on ideal
gases and the special-case results associated with ideal gases be careful to check what criteria
must hold before you apply any particular special-case result.
Ch. 20: Second Law of Thermodynamics
NOT COVERED.
Ch. 21: Electric Charge and Electric Field
21.1, 21.2, 21.3, 21.4, 21.5, 21.6, 21.7
You should review the standard integration techniques introduced for specific charge
geometries in this chapter.
Ch. 22: Gauss Law
22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5
An important chapter.
Ch. 23: Electric Potential
23.1, 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, 23.5
Again there will be some standard charge geometries for which you may need to calculate the
potential.
