COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is an extension of Physics 111 where you apply the same concepts to
the principles of electromagnetism. In this course, you will learn the basic principles of
classical electromagnetism. This includes electrostatics, electrodynamics, magnetism,
electromagnetic waves, and optics. At the end of the course, you are expected to know
how to use the appropriate mathematical techniques for physics investigations, have a
thorough knowledge of the SI system of measurement, understand classical laws of
electromagnetism, and understand some of the current applications of physics in
everyday life. The objective behind studying these principles is to cultivate an interest in
the student to understand the natural laws and to develop analytical skills for the student
to be able to tackle some of the fundamental problems in nature.

COURSE REOUIREMENTS:
Students are required to:
1. Attend all lecture and laboratory sessions, except in cases of illness and other unforeseen
emergencies. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor about the steps that
must be taken for making up any and all missed work. It is recommended that contact
with the instructor take place within twenty-four (24) hours of having missed class. The
University policy concerning absences from class will be strictly enforced. The instructor
will request administrative withdrawal for students who either incur TWO
CONSECUTIVE ABSENCES, or whose absences exceed 10% of the total contact hours
the course meets during the semester. For this course, that would amount to
approximately seven (7) total hours of unexcused absences after which the instructor will
also submit an administrative withdrawal for the student. See the university catalog for
the details.
2. Be punctual. Attendance will be taken promptly at the beginning of each session. Any
student coming in after the roll has been called will have been marked absent. It is the
student's responsibility to see that all tardies have been duly noted. Students will also be
charged with a tardy for departure from the class before the specified end of class. The
accumulation of three (3) tardies will result in the student being charged with one (1)
absence.
3. Participate actively in classroom discussions and activities. Two key ingredients of every
student's learning are sharing opinions and experiences with others, and interacting with
others in the teaching-learning situation.
4. Read over and take notes on the indicated chapters BEFORE they are presented in class.
This activity mentally prepares one for the learning experience. It also is important
because it raises questions that one needs to have answered in order to fully understand
concepts presented.
5. Take notes in class. Recopy these notes at the first opportunity after class and certainly
the same day as the class in which the notes were taken. Reconcile any discrepancies in
the notes taken in class as well as with notes taken in initial reading. Add explanations or
drawings or other examples for clarity.
6. Study about two hours for each hour of lecture. This is an absolute minimum for
maximum success in a class.
7. Avail themselves of all pertinent audiovisual and computer-assisted instructional
materials.
8. Take examinations ON THE SCHEDULED DATES. No make-up examinations will
undertake. An automatic grade of ZERO is recorded for any exam missed for any reason.
9. Be in compliance with the university policy on drugs which prohibits the possession or
use of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs on any part of the campus.
10. SEE THE INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATELY WHEN SPECIFIC DIFFICULTIES ARE
ENCOUNTERED.
IX.
TEACHING STRATEGIES:
The primary teaching strategy for this course will take the form of lectures and
demonstrations of the specific processes and effects related to the topics of interest.
Particular sections of the course will be taught in accordance to the instructional styles of
the individual faculty member.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
The textbook will be considered the primary resource in this class. However, textbooks
often do not contain enough information or information in the manner that will be most
advantageous for student learning. In light of these shortcomings, it is recommended that each
student perform additional reading on each topic covered in class. This may be accomplished by
seeking other physical science texts in the library or the instructor's office. It is recommended that
the student read the following books:
1. University Physics by Hugh D. Young and Roger A. Freeman (Tenth edition 2000)
2. Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Raymond A. Serway (Third Edition 1992)
3. College Physics by Franklin Miller (Fourth edition).
4. The Feyman Lectures on Physics by Richard P. Feyman, Robert Leighton, and
Matthew Sands
5. Teaching Children about Physical Science by Elaine Levenson, NY Tab Books,
c1994
During the time frame in which this course is taught, far more exciting discoveries and
interpretations will undoubtedly occur which will not be in texts. It is therefore recommended that
the student routinely examine periodical literature such as: Science News, Science, Scientific
America, American Journal of Physics, Physics Today, Physical Review, Physical Review
Letters. and many others.
