This premium study guide covers Chapters 26–30 of Sears & Zemansky’s University Physics with Modern Physics, Volume 2 (15th Edition, Young & Freedman). Concise explanations of key concepts: DC circuits, magnetic fields, sources of magnetic fields, Faraday’s law, and electromagnetic induction. Step-by-step worked examples for every major problem type, showing all calculation details and reasoning. Background summaries to build intuition before diving into equations. Exam-focused layout: formulas, definitions, and problem-solving strategies organized for quick recall. Covers multiple problem variations so you’re prepared for homework, quizzes, and exams. Perfect for students in Physics II / University Physics II courses who want a clear, time-saving resource that condenses hundreds of textbook pages into an easy-to-use, exam-ready packet.
