4.0 credits

Third semester of a three-course honors sequence (PHYS 141, 143, 142), recommended for prospective departmental concentrators and other science or engineering students with a strong interest in physics and mathematics. Topics are the same as those of PHYS 122 but in greater depth. These topics include Coulomb's Law through Maxwell's equations; electrostatics, electrical potential; capacitors; electric fields in matter; current and circuits; magnetostatics; magnet fields in matter; induction; A.C. circuits; waves.In addition to Two 75-minute lectures each week, One workshop each week and One three-hour laboratory every other week is required. The laboratories and workshop registration is at the same time as the course registration.
