Understanding Physics: Illustrated Multiple Choice Questions
A comprehensive and engaging educational guide containing 160 question-answer pairs designed to introduce fundamental physics concepts and the major physicists who shaped the discipline. The book presents physics through concrete everyday examples and historical anecdotes, making abstract concepts accessible to learners of all ages. Each response is complemented by detailed explanations and numerous illustrative diagrams. The content is organized across seven major domains of physical science: astronomy, electromagnetism, mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, structure of matter, and chemistry. Written by Frédéric Borel, an experienced physics educator at secondary and upper secondary levels, this work transforms physics from an intimidating subject into an enjoyable learning experience. The interactive approach encourages readers to test their knowledge through multiple-choice questions while building a solid foundation in scientific principles that govern everyday phenomena such as boiling water, electrical heating, falling objects, and photography.
