Petits problèmes de physique : du quotidien au laboratoire Corrigés détaillés, méthodes
Antonin Marchand, Robin Kaiser, Thomas Salez, François Graner
Destiné aux étudiants en Masters de physique ou préparant les concours de l’enseignement, cet ouvrage rassemble 50 exercices et problèmes inspirés de la Recherche. Il fournit une nouvelle méthode pour analyser et comprendre la physique d’aujourd’hui et tire ainsi le meilleur de l’approche qualitative anglo-saxonne et du formalisme pratiqué dans l’enseignement en France. Les énoncés sont suivis de conseils méthodologiques et les solutions sont détaillées. Un index thématique permet de naviguer dans (...)
MATHEMATICAL ASPECTS OF NATURAL DYNAMOS
Emmanuel Dormy, Andrew Soward
For centuries it has been known that astrophysical bodies, ranging from planets to stars and galaxies, generate magnetic fields. Indeed the very existence of the Earth’s magnetic field has enabled travelers and explorers to determine their direction by use of the compass. Despite our long familiarity with the Earth’s magnetic field, its origin together with that of other celestial bodies remains a very challenging problem. What is now known, however, is that these magnetic fields are (...)
