author  \nERIC DEESON started as a school physics teacher and loved the subject andthe challenge of bringing it to life.He has had extensive experience inteaching students at school and university level,and in science teachertraining in a number ofcountries.He has played a part in the educationwork of the Association for Science Education,the Institute of Physics andthe Royal Society,and was editor of Physics Education 1980-1985.He is theauthor of some twenty physics publications,including the Colins GemPhysics Basic Facts (fifth edition 2001)as well as the Colins Dictionary ofIT(1992)and Collins Instant Facts:Physics(20o₅).  \nWILLIAM COLLINs'dream of knowledge for all began with the publicationof his first book in 1819.A self-educated mill worker,he not only enrichedmillions oflives,but also founded a flourishing publishing house.Today,staying true to his spirit,Collins books are packed with inspiration,innovation,and practical expertise.They place you at the centre of a

about aspects of thesubject in some depth.  \nMost entries are more than just a definition.Explanations are clear,straightforward and up to date,and illustrations are provided to make topicseasier to understand.Entries often give some ideas about uses,or some notesabout history or work in the laboratory;all are designed to help understand theconcepts.There are many cross-references(given in italic)to related entries.Ifthere are a number of related terms,special linked entries show each of the termsin bold so they can be found quickly.  \nThere are also a number of longer entries on a single theme,such as atomand electric,set in single column.Inside these entries,the main words andphrases given in bold are often in logical order rather than in alphabetical order.Also,italic terms show by such things as“(above)'and (see below'that they referto other places in the theme entry rather than elsewhere in the book.  \nAppendix 1 lists the international system of units for measurement;  \nappendix 2 shows the Greek alphabet.Appendix 3 shows the circuit symbols andappendix 4 lists all the Nobel Laureates in physics and what they were awarded theprize for,from 1901 to the present day.Appendix5 lists some of the best websitesthat contain information about physics at about the level of this dictionary.  \n# Dedication\n\nI was very fortunate to have worked with two very good physics teachers at school-Mr Jardine and Mr Tucker loved the subject,and worked hard to share whatthey felt.But I dedicate this dictionary to two other physics teachers:my  \nfather-in-law,Bill Sing,one of those many unsung heroes who worked long andhard for his physics students in Britain and in Nigeria;and to Bill Jarvis,who isnow retired,but still a lovable eccentric in the best sense of the word-I workedwith the latter in many contexts,including thejournals School ","cbCaip4TovpobyVO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip4TovpobyVO","pdf",48169868,544,"English","# Introduction\n#
