Physics II: Advanced Electromagnetism

Catalog description

An introduction to the fundamentals of physics: electrostatics and magnetism, including the concepts of the electric and magnetic fields, electric potential and basic circuits; the laws of Gauss, Ampere and Faraday; Maxwell's equations. This course is designed for students who are interested in careers in physical science and engineering and who are well prepared to take a more advanced course in introductory physics. Course content expands on the content of A PHY 150 and T PHY 151. More advanced textbook is used. Students with a strong interest in physical sciences should consider taking A PHY 152 instead of A PHY 150 or T PHY 151. Only one of A PHY 150, T PHY 151, or A PHY 152 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite or corequisite(s): A MAT 113 or A MAT 119 or T MAT 119; prerequisite(s): A PHY 140, or T PHY 141 or A PHY 142.
