This second course in a calculus-based physics
sequence is designed for students in engineering,
physical sciences, computer science, and other
STEM fields. PHY 212 provides an in-depth
exploration of electricity, magnetism, and wave
phenomena, covering topics such as electric
fields, electric potential, capacitance, and DC
and AC circuit analysis. The course also examines
magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, and
Maxwell's equations, leading into the study of
electromagnetic waves and the nature of light.
Calculus-based problem-solving is emphasized
throughout, giving students a rigorous
understanding of these essential principles.
Laboratory sessions complement theoretical
knowledge by providing hands-on experience in
experimental physics, data collection, and
analysis, preparing students to communicate
scientific findings effectively. With three
lecture hours and three laboratory hours per week,
PHY 212 equips students with critical
problem-solving abilities and the scientific rigor
needed for advanced study in STEM fields.
Prerequisites:
PHY 211 and MAT 162.
