PH 1121Principles Of Physics-Electricity And Magnetism

Catalog

Cat. I A calculus-based introduction with laboratory to electricity and magnetism, at a somewhat higher mathematical level than PH 1120. Topics include: Coulomb’s Law, electric fields and potentials, capacitance, electric current and resistance, magnetism, and electromagnetic induction. Students may not receive credit for both PH 1121 and PH 1120. Recommended Background - Working knowledge of material covered in PH 1110 or PH 1111, of differential and integral calculus (MA 1021 and MA 1022), and vector algebra (MA 1023). Students concurrently taking MA 1023 are advised to take PH 1120.
