A calculus-based course in electricity, magnetism and optics, primarily designed for students majoring in engineering and physical sciences. Course Prerequisites: PHYS 2425 and MATH 2414. Core Curriculum Course This is a course in the 42-hour Core Curriculum of Blinn College. Students will develop proficiency in appropriate intellectual competencies, exemplary educational objectives and general perspectives. The URL of the Blinn College core curriculum web site is www.blinn.edu/corecurriculum/42hourcore.htm. Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: - Calculate electric forces and fields due to discrete and continuous charge distributions. - Apply Gauss’s law to calculating electric fields in cases of symmetry. - Use the interrelationships between voltage and electric potential energy to each other, to electric fields and forces and for charge distributions. - Solve problems with capacitance, energy in a capacitor, conduction, resistance and power in circuits. - Analyze basic DC circuits including equivalent resistance, capacitance, currents and voltages. - Find the force on charges and currents due to magnetic fields, and the fields due to currents. - Solve electromagnetic problems involving Faraday’s law and Maxwell’s equations. - Solve problems of inductance, inductor and magnetic fields energy. Analyze the transient behavior of RC, RL, LC and RLC circuits. - Apply the AC concepts of reactance, impedance and phase, and calculate the behavior of series AC circuits. - Solve problems involving electromagnetic radiation, including the plane-wave solution, polarization, intensity, radiation pressure and momentum. - Solve problems involving the reflection and refraction of light, and applications of spherical mirrors and thin lenses. - Solve problems involving interference and diffraction, including double-slit and thin-film interference, single-slit diffraction and diffraction gratings. Textbooks and other materials - Required Textbook: Young and Freedman, University Physics, 13th edition (Vol II). - Required Homework System: Students must purchase an access key to MasteringPhysics, the textbook publisher’s online homework system. This is bundled with the textbook at the Blinn bookstore. Alternatively, the access key can be purchased online at www.masteringphysics.com; be sure to select the Young and Freedman text above to pair with MasteringPhysics. The MasteringPhysics Course ID for this section is BLINN2426302SU215. - Required Laboratory Manual: Each student must print out a copy of the labs for the semester. The lab manual is in the form of a single pdf file and can be found here. - Scientific Calculator: Students must have a proper scientific calculator with them for every class.

Blinn College Policies - Attendance: The College District believes that class attendance is essential for student success; therefore, students are required to promptly and regularly attend all their classes. A record of attendance will be maintained from the first day the student’s name appears on the roster through final examinations. If a student accumulates one week’s worth of unexcused absences during the semester, he or she will be sent an e-mail by the College requiring the student to contact his or her instructor and schedule a conference immediately to discuss his or her
