PHYS 27200 - Electric And Magnetic Interactions (UCC: SCI)


Credit Hours: 4.00.  Calculus-based physics course using concepts of electric and magnetic fields and an atomic description of matter to describe polarization, fields produced by charge distributions, potential, electrical circuits, magnetic forces, induction, and related topics, leading to Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic radiation and an introduction to waves and interference. 3-D graphical simulations and numerical problem solving by computer are employed throughout. 
Learning Outcomes
1. Understand and describe a wide range of physical phenomena in electricity and magnetism using only a few fundamental principles of physics.
2. Learn a unified approach that relates microscopic behavior to macroscopic behavior.
3. Model natural phenomena quantitatively.
4. Apply all this to a range of topics related to electricity and magnetism.
Credits: 4.00
