PHYS-1302 College Physics II
This course covers the 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. Lec 3, Cr 3
Outcomes
- 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.
- Articulate the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and superposition of waves.
- Describe the characteristics of light and the electromagnetic spectrum.
