PH 213 General Physics With Calculus

The third of a three-term calculus-based sequence of introductory college physics for students who are planning to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. Topics include electrostatic force, field and potential; current and resistance capacitance; magnetic field; forces on charged particles due to a magnetic field; Hall effect and other applications of electric and magnetic fields; Law of Biot and Savart; Ampere's law; magnetic dipoles; Faraday's law of induction; Lenz's law; induced electric fields; self and mutual induction; RC and RL direct current circuits; magnetic properties of matter; AC and DC circuits; displacement currents and Maxwell's equations; electromagnetic waves. This is a laboratory class.
