PHY 142 Electricity & Magnetism (Honors)

Semester: Fall
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisite: PHY 141or performance at or above the B+ level in PHY 121, MTH 162 or MTH 172 (may be taken concurrently)

Third semester of a three-course honors sequence (PHY 141 143, 142), recommended for prospective departmental concentrators and other science or engineering students with a strong interest in physics and mathematics. Topics are the same as those of PHY 122 but in greater depth. These topics include Coulomb's Law through Maxwell's equations; electrostatics, electrical potential; capacitors; electric fields in matter; current and circuits; magnetostatics; magnet fields in matter; induction; A.C. circuits; waves.In addition to Two 75-minute lectures each week, One workshop/recitation each week and One three-hour laboratory every other week is required. The laboratories registration is at the same time as the course registration. Workshop/recitation times are determined by the instructor.
