Physics for Scientists and Engineers II

3 Credits | 100 Level | 38 Contact hours


REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS AND COURSE MATERIALS

Textbook: Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics, 9th Edition (R. Serway and J. Jewett).



DESCRIPTION

Physics for Scientists and Engineers II is an introductory, calculus-based physics course covering mainly electromagnetism and matter. Topics to be covered include:
• Thermodynamics (laws, kinetic theory, states of matter).
• Electrostatics and electrodynamics (charge, fields, force, potential, current, dielectrics, circuit elements).
• Magnetism (fields, forces, sources, materials)
• Electromagnetic oscillations.
