Welcome in Collection of Solved Problems in Physics

This collection of Solved Problems in Physics is developed by Department of Physics Education, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague since 2006.

The Collection contains tasks at various level in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics and optics. The tasks mostly do not contain the calculus (derivations and integrals), on the other hand they are not simple such as the use just one formula. Tasks have very detailed solution descriptions. Try to solve the task or at least some of its parts independently. You can use hints and task analysis (solution strategy).

Level and category of the task is indicated by an icon in the right upper corner.

Tasks in English are translated from the Czech part of the Collection.The development of the Colection interface as well as translations of tasks was supported by projects FRVŠ (759 F6d/2008, 788 F6d/2010, FRVŠ 888 F6d/2011) a by IRP.
