Physics II: Electromagnetism

4.0 credits · Undergraduate

Second course in a three semester introductory physics sequence. The course emphasizes active learning during class. Video lectures are viewed before class; most class time is devoted to problem-solving. Topics include: electric forces and fields, Gauss' Law, electric energy and potential, DC and AC circuits, magnetic forces and fields, Ampere's Law, magnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations. University Physics, Vol. 2, by Young and Freedman. The math prerequisite is essential: vector dot and cross products, as well as line, surface, and volume integrals are done routinely.
