General Analytical Physics II

Catalog description

Second of a two-semester calculus-based and problem-oriented introductory physics sequence. The approach is strongly quantitative and emphasizes the solving of problems. Topics normally covered are drawn from electromagnetism and include electrostatic field, potential and energy, electric circuits, magnetostatics, and electromagnetic induction. Time permitting, electromagnetic waves and optics may be included. Meets requirements of physics and engineering programs. Three hours. Credit is not allowed for both PHYS 212/222. Prerequisite: MATH 116 (can be taken concurrently) and C or better in PHYS 211 or in PHYS 221. Offered only spring and summer.
