Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

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, electric energy and potential, circuits, magnetic forces and fields, magnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations. Taught at a level somewhat higher than University Physics, Vol. 2, by Young and Freedman. The math prerequisite is essential: line, surface, and volume integrals are done routinely and occasional use is made of gradient, divergence, and curl.

When Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.

Permission Note Primarily for: students of engineering, physics and related disciplines.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: PHYS 1112 (or strong performance in PHYS 2207) and one of MATH 1920, MATH 2220, or MATH 2240.
Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will receive credit for only one course in the following group: AEP 2170, PHYS 1102, PHYS 2208, PHYS 2213, PHYS 2217.

Distribution Category (PHS-AS) (CHPH-AG, OPHLS-AG)

Comments PHYS 2217 presents a more advanced view of the subject. Students must take PHYS 1110 with PHYS 1112, PHYS 1116, PHYS 2213, or PHYS 2217 to complete the required sequence.
