PHYS 2213

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Second course in a three semester introductory physics sequence. The course emphasizes active learning during class. Video lectures are viewed before class; most class time is devoted to problem-solving. Topics include: electric forces and fields, Gauss' Law, electric energy and potential, DC and AC circuits, magnetic forces and fields, Ampere's Law, magnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations. University Physics, Vol. 2, by Young and Freedman. The math prerequisite is essential: vector dot and cross products, as well as line, surface, and volume integrals are done routinely.


Prerequisites PHYS 1112; MATH 1920 or MATH 2220 or MATH 2240.
