The thermal physics is all about heat and thermodynamics. You will learn about measuring temperature, transfer of heat, and conversion of heat energy into work. You will understand kinetic theory of gases, thermodynamic processes and heat engine cycles responsible for the generation of automotive power. You will understand the fours fundamental laws of thermodynamics.

AAPT® is a strong professional physics science society dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in physical science education.

Winter and Summer National Meetings:
These National Meetings, held each winter and summer, are opportunities for members, colleagues, and future physicists from around the world to:

- participate in physics workshops
- meet and greet other physics educators
- form networks nationally and locally
- engage exhibitors and learn about the latest physics resources
- discuss innovations in teaching methods
- share the results of research about teaching and learning.

Dr. Sonwalkar is regarded as a leading expert in the application of computers in education. He has extensive research and development experience in hypermedia authoring, mobile learning, adaptive learning, and brain-based synaptic learning, advanced scientific visualization, database management systems, and computer simulation.

After receiving doctoral degree from MIT in the area of Molecular Dynamics of Nano-interfaces, he joined MIT as faculty in Mechanical Engineering, but his passion for technology enabled education led him become the founding director of Hypermedia Teaching Facility (Hypermedia Lab) at MIT and later he was appointed as the Principal Educational Architect of MIT.

Thermal Physics Segment 3: Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids

Thermal Physics Segment 4: Kinetic Theory of Gases

Thermal Physics Segment 5: The Gas Law, The First Law of Thermodynamics, and Work

Thermal Physics Segment 6: Thermodynamic Processes and The Second Law of Thermodyn

In electrostatics, you will learn about charges, electric filed lines and drift velocity of electrons, Gauss' law of electrostatic field, voltage difference and microscopic Ohm's law connecting voltage and current through the conductors. You will learn how some materials are conductors, some are semi-conductors and some are insulators of electrical charge.
