Introductory Physics II with Laboratory

Catalog description

Algebra and trigonometry will be routinely used. Upon completion of this course students will be able to: (1) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of electrostatic force, field, potential energy and potential for point charges; (2) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of DC circuits containing batteries, resistors, and capacitors; (3) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of magnetic forces and fields and induction; (4) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of ray and wave optics; (5) Effectively collect and present scientific data gathered through experiment; (6) Use computational and estimation skills to analyze data, construct and interpret charts, graphs, and tables, and compose scientific explanations.
