1 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): MTH 251, PH 211, PH 211L, PH 211R

Corequisite(s): MTH 252, PH 211, PH 212L

Course Description: This is the second term of a three-term calculus-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 Level: Lower Division Collegiate

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Use vectors, algebra, calculus, dimensional analysis, and logical reasoning to solve general physics problems resourcefully. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#2: Use sensible assumptions and simplifications to solve general physics problems, when it appears that not enough information is provided.
CLO#3: Apply the principles of special relativity and electromagnetism.
