PHY 204: Electricity and Magnetism Instructor: Muhammad Sabieh Anwar Year: 2014-15 Office: Email: [email protected] Semester: Fall Office Hours: Category: Undergrad Course Code: PHY 204 Course Title: Electricity and Magnetism Credits: 3 Pre-requisite: None, good understanding of calculus is required Teaching Fellow: TF’s Office Hours: will be announced Website: http://physlab.lums.edu.pk (Follow the teaching link) Lecture format: Per week, there are two 75 minutes lectures and one 75 minutes recitation. ____________________________________________________________________________ Course Description: The course is a first introduction to Electricity and Magnetism. It will review static and dynamic electric and magnetic fields, as well as their inter-relationships. Physical models will be presented throughout the course, with a sprinkling of computational exercises and in-class demonstrations. Learning outcomes: At the conclusion of this course, students should be able to: 1. understand and model electric and magnetic interactions in free space and homogenous matter, 2. write down the Maxwell equations with a clear understanding of their meaning, 3. sketch and solve simple problems involving distributions of charges and currents, timeindependent and time-dependent. Course Status: Core for Physics and EE Majors. Pre-requisites: None, but a good grounding in calculus is essential for this course. Text books: Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway/Jewett. (Primary textbook) Matter and Interactions by Chabay and Sherwood. (Useful complementary book) Grading scheme: Quizzes 25% Homeworks: 10% Mid-Term 25% Final Exam 40% The instructor has the liberty of varying these grade assignments by 5%.
