Credit Hours: 4
Lecture Hours: 3
Laboratory Hours: 3

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 210 and MATH 215

Restriction(s): None

Corequisite(s): None

This is the second course in a three-course, calculus-based physics sequence. Topics include electrostatics, electric and magnetic fields, potential, DC circuits, digital circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, capacitance, inductance, introduction to AC circuits, and geometrical optics.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Students will demonstrate understanding of the methods scientists use to explore natural phenomena, including observation, hypothesis development, measurement and data collection, experimentation, evaluation of evidence, and employment of mathematical analysis.
Students will demonstrate application of scientific data, concepts, and models in one of the natural sciences.
