PH 202L - General Physics II Lab 1 Credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): PH 201 , PH 201L , PH 201R or PH 211 , PH 211L , PH 211R
Corequisite(s): PH 202 , PH 202R
Course Description: This is the second term of a three-term algebra-based physics course. Special relativity and electromagnetism are covered. This includes but is not limited to spacetime diagrams, time dilation, length contraction, conservation of four-momentum, electrostatics, fields, current, voltage, circuits, magnetism, induction, Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves. Students must enroll in lecture, laboratory and recitation sections. All three sections are required.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- CLO#1: Use vectors, algebra, dimensional analysis, and logical reasoning to solve general physics problems resourcefully. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
- CLO#2: Make sensible assumptions and simplifications to solve general physics problems when it appears that not enough information is provided.
- CLO#3: Apply the basic principles geometric optics.
- CLO#4: Apply basic principles of electrostatics (charge, field, potential).
- CLO#5: Apply basic principles of electric current (circuits, Ohm’s law).
- CLO#6: Apply basic principles of electromagnetism (currents, magnets, electromagnetic fields).
- CLO#7: Interpret laboratory data to draw conclusions about general physics experiments.
Typical Required and Recommended Equipment and Materials: Scientific calculator, Ruler, Protractor, Mechanical pencil, Eraser, Engineering paper
ACTI Code and Course Type 100 Lower Division Collegiate
Length of Course: A required state minimum of (30) and a standard RCC delivery of (33) lab hours per term, not to exceed (36) hours per term.
