Need book recommendation for difficult multiple choice problems

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding resources for difficult multiple choice questions in physics, specifically covering topics such as motion, rotation, light, and electromagnetism. The context involves preparing a quiz for a small study group of students about to enter college for a Bachelor of Science degree in physics.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for books or resources that contain difficult multiple choice questions in physics.
  • Another participant suggests Lewis Epstein's 'Thinking Physics' as a suitable resource for a broad age group.
  • The original poster clarifies that the study group consists of 18-year-olds preparing for college.
  • A different participant notes that multiple choice questions are not commonly used in physics assessments after GCSE and offers to recommend sources of challenging problems instead.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on specific resources for multiple choice questions, and there are differing views on the availability of such questions in physics education.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights a potential gap in resources for multiple choice questions in advanced physics topics, particularly for students transitioning from secondary education to college-level studies.

I need to quiz small study group. Looking for book/other-resources for difficult multiple choice questions on physics (motion, rotation, light, electro-magnetics etc.)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Give us a clue; Roughly what age & ability are your study group?

I can recommend Lewis Epstein's 'Thinking physics' for just about any age group.

rgds,
dave
 
it's for age group of 18 years..people who are about to enter College for BS degree (physics).

Any inputs will help.

Thanks,
MJ
 
Sry, being slow on the uptake I didn't spot the requirement for multiple guess problems.

I'm afraid that's not a common format for physics questions post GCSE, for a number of reasons.

I can recommend sources of challenging problems, but let's see if anyone else can be more directly helpful !
