PHY 112 - Physics for Applied Science and Engineering II

4 credits
4 hours lecture and laboratory, 1 hour recitation
Prerequisites: PHY 111 or 113; MTH 112 or 114
Corequisites: MTH 213
A calculus-based introduction to the concepts of electricity and magnetism, which covers the same topics as PHY 114. This course is taught in an active learning mode in a computerized physics studio, with the subject material presented in an integrated format of lectures and laboratory experiments. Study of electric and magnetic fields, electric potential, capacitance and inductance, elementary circuits, and electromagnetic oscillations.  Laboratory experiments provide students with a solid understanding of basic DC circuit concepts and an introduction to AC circuits. This course may be repeated as PHY 114. This course may be repeated as PHY 114.
