PHYS-1102 College Physics II Laboratory
This laboratory-based course accompanies PHYS-1302, College Physics II. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental principles of physics, using algebra and trigonometry; the principles and applications of electricity and magnetism, including circuits, electrostatics, electromagnetism, waves, sound, light, optics, and modern physics topics; with emphasis on problem solving. Lab 3, Cr 1
Outcomes
- Develop techniques to set up and perform experiments, collect data from those experiments, and formulate conclusions from an experiment.
- Demonstrate the collections, analysis, and reporting of data using the scientific method.
- Record experimental work completely and accurately in laboratory notebooks, and communicate experimental results clearly in written reports.
- Solve problems involving the inter-relationship of fundamental charged particles, and electrical forces, fields, and currents.
- Apply Kirchhoff's Rules to analysis of circuits with potential sources, capacitance, inductance, and resistance, including parallel and series capacitance and resistance.
- Solve problems in the electrostatic interaction of point charges through the application of Coulomb's Law.
- Solve problems involving the effects of magnetic fields on moving charges or currents, and the relationship of magnetic fields to the currents which produce them.
- Use Faraday's and Lenz's laws to determine electromotive forces and solve problems involving electromagnetic induction.
- Solve problems applying the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and superposition of waves.
- Solve practical problems involving optics, lenses, mirrors, and optical instruments.
