PH 213 General Physics With Calculus

The third course of a three-course calculus-based series of introductory college physics for students in science, engineering, and other curricula who plan to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. Covers topics such as 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. Also covers 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, and electromagnetic waves. Includes a laboratory component.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Describe and explain the motion of charged physical objects in an electric field. Use calculus to determine the field of a charge distribution via integration of the field from infinitesimal charges methods and Gauss' Law methods. Describe and explain the relationship between electric field and electric potential. Solve problems in series and parallel circuits. Describe and explain the motion of charged physical objects in a magnetic field. Solve problems dealing with electromagnetic induction. Use analytical equipment in the lab, such as oscilloscopes and multimeters, to collect data that is used for analysis.
