Master intermediate physics concepts through this comprehensive lecture series covering thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and circuit analysis across 30 detailed sessions. Begin with a mechanics problem-solving review before diving into thermal physics fundamentals, exploring the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and analyzing heat engine cycles. Progress through electrostatics by developing electric field concepts, applying Gauss's law, and understanding electric potential and capacitors. Advance to DC circuit analysis using Kirchhoff's rules and various circuit configurations, then transition to magnetostatics covering magnetic forces, Biot-Savart's law, and Ampere's law applications. Explore electromagnetic induction through Faraday's law, inductors, and time-varying circuits including RC, LR, LC, and LRC configurations. Conclude with AC circuit analysis, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic wave theory, and a comprehensive review of electromagnetism and circuit principles, with each 1-2 hour lecture providing thorough coverage of Physics 4B curriculum topics.
