PHY182 — Physics for Engineers & Scientists II
PHY 182 - Physics for Engineers & Scientists II PHY 182 - Physics for Engineers & Scientists II This continuation of PHY 181 covers the nature of sound and light and their behavior; electric and magnetic forces and fields; electric circuits and electric energy transfer; and electromagnetic induction. Topics include electric fields due to point charges and point distributions, Coulomb’s Law, Gauss’ Law, the Biot-Savart Law, Ampere’s Law, Faraday’s Law, inductance and self-inductance, DC and AC circuits, capacitance, dielectrics, magnetic force, and torque, the wave equation with standing waves in strings and resonant air columns, simple harmonic motion, the Doppler effect, and geometric optics including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference in lenses and thin films. This is the second semester of University Physics taught at most major Engineering schools. Laboratory experiences will provide you with problem-solving techniques, measurement skills and applications of theory. Analyze and solve problems with topics including sound and light waves, electric and magnetic forces and fields, and DC and AC circuits. Communicate effectively in laboratory reports, following accepted reporting formats to present laboratory results cogently and succinctly.
