Course Description:
This is
the third course in the
calculus-based physics sequence. Basic physical concepts, laws,
properties,
nature, and implication for modern sciences of electricity, magnetism,
and electromagnetic waves are covered. Basic
electronic elements - resistor, capacitor, inductaor, etc. are
introduced. Basic circuit analysis is covered. The
development of problem-solving
skills fundamental to students of all branches of engineering will be
emphasized. Corequisite: Math 2236 (Differential
Equations).
Prerequisites:
Undergraduate level
PHYS
1046 (General Physics - Mechanics)
Minimum Grade of D and Undergraduate level
MATH
2510 (Calculus
III) Minimum Grade of D and/or Undergraduate level
MATH
2236 (Minimum Grade of D)
Objectives:
1) To develop an understanding of
the basic concepts, laws, properties, and physical processes in
electric field,
magnetic field, basic circuit analysis, and application;
2) To develop the skills to solve physical problems in electricity and
magnetic
using calculus.
Course outcomings (complying with ABET A-K):
After this course, you (the student) should have
B. an
ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
E. an
ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
F. an
ability to communicate effectively
G. an
ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools
necessary
for engineering practice
I. an understanding of the impact of
engineering
solutions in a global economic,
environmental, and societal context
J. a

K. a
recognition for the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long
learning.
Homework:
Homework will generally be assigned
on Monday and due the following Monday, otherwise, just follow the
announcement
in classes. Keys to the
answer of
homework will be given in the assignments. No more than that. Homeowork
will be put in the "Homework"
subdirectory under "Course Documents" direcotry in Blackboard for this
course. Group discussing in
doing homework is permitted but copying answers from others or any
other resources is
prohibited.
Copied homework will be graded as “zero” or “F”. No homework will be
dropped in calculating your course grade. All
homework is due on the date specified. Late
homework will not be accepted.
Quizzes:
Basically,
a quiz will be given each week, but may be on an irregular basis. The
content
of each quiz will generally within that covered in the previous
lectures from the last quiz. The final grade for the quizzes will be
the average of all your
quizzes.
Grade Policy:
Your final grade for
the course will depend on your active
participation, ability to understand and apply the various concepts,
laws, physical
process and calculus in solving electric and magnetic problems. The
final grade
of the course will be determined approximately as follows:
Attendance: 10%
Homework: 20%
Quizzes:
35%
Two exams: 35%
