PH 212L - General Physics (Calculus Based) II Lab 1 Credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): MTH 251 , PH 211 , PH 211L , PH 211R
Corequisite(s): MTH 252 , PH 212 , PH 212R
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: Make sensible assumptions and simplifications to solve general physics problems, when it appears that not enough information is provided.
- CLO#3: Apply the principles of geometric optics, using calculus where appropriate. (coordinate time, proper time, spacetime interval, spacetime diagram, coordinate transformations, cosmic speed limit, conservation of four-momentum, relativistic Doppler effect).
- CLO#4: Apply principles of electrostatics (charge, field, potential) using calculus where appropriate.
- CLO#5: Apply principles of electric current (circuits, Ohm’s law) using calculus where appropriate.
- CLO#6: Apply principles of electromagnetism (currents, magnets, electromagnetic fields) using calculus where appropriate.
- CLO#7: Interpret laboratory data to draw conclusions about general physics experiments.
