More about the book
The front cover features an image by Eric J. Heller illustrating electron flow over a bumpy surface, where 100,000 electrons branch and fold back as they move toward the lower left. This phenomenon is explored in several chapters, particularly in relation to electric sparks. Some sparks are entertaining, like the brief blue glow from a wintergreen LifeSaver, visible in a dark room (Chapter 21). Others can be hazardous, such as electrostatic discharges that may accidentally ignite airborne dust (Chapter 25). This 8th edition includes hundreds of intriguing effects from everyday life, inspired by Jearl Walker's The Flying Circus of Physics, a cult classic for over 30 years. The original edition has been translated into 10 languages and remains popular among students, instructors, and the public. The electronic version of this edition offers links to the new 2nd Edition of The Flying Circus of Physics through WileyPLUS, an online homework system that also provides electronic versions of all end-of-chapter problems, along with several hundred interactive tutorials and thousands of hints authored by Jearl Walker.
