COURSE CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
PH 213 is the last term of the calculus-based General Physics sequence and focuses primarily on electricity and
magnetism. The class environment includes labs, demonstrations, discussion, and individual and group activities.
GENERAL COURSE OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED BY:
Think, converse and write with significant conceptual
precision about electricity and magnetism, using
applicable calculus concepts and creating multiple,
appropriate visual and mathematical representations of
the motion.
Make appropriate decisions, converse and write with
significant conceptual precision about measurement, the
use of applicable scientific equipment to conduct
experimental investigation of the electrical interaction,
and the design of experiments and evaluation of results
of experiments, and draw conclusions from experiment
and calculation about possible explanations of electric,
magnetic and electro- magnetic phenomena.
Formulate questions to move their thinking forward
concerning the subject matter of the class and monitor
and evaluate their thinking for consistency and
reasonableness in the course of study and problemsolving.
Appropriately choose and apply the basic concepts and
laws of Classical Electricity and Magnetism, expressed in
their integral form.
Exams, homework, projects, class/lab activities, journal
entries, reading questions, class conversation,
online/office hour discussions, student evaluations of the
class, reports on subsequent enrollment and performance
in other classes.
Exams, homework, projects, class/lab activities, journal
entries, reading questions, class conversation,
online/office hour discussions, student evaluations of the
class, reports on subsequent enrollment and performance
in other classes.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student
should be able to:
Approach problem-solving in a manner appropriate to
physics and to the level needed by beginning physics and
engineering majors; they will be aware that this may be
significantly different from working through exercises
encountered in mathematics classes and perhaps previous
science classes; and they will be aware of possible uses
and impacts of this physics knowledge.
Converse and write about the nature of science with
some sophistication and approach the problem-solving in
physics as aligned to physics as a science, rather than a
body of knowledge.

Electricity and Magnetism are valuable and useful even
though physics has developed beyond Classical Electricity
and Magnetism.
