PHYS-1402 College Physics II TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE DISTRICT MASTER SYLLABUS COURSE DESCRIPTION Lecture: Fundamental principles of physics, using algebra and trigonometry; the principles and applications of electricity and magnetism, including circuits, electrostatics, electromagnetism, waves, sound, light, optics, and modern physics topics; with emphasis on problem solving. Prerequisites: PHYS-1401 and PHYS-1401L Co-requisite: PHYS-1402L Lab: This laboratory-based course accompanies PHYS-1402, College Physics II. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental principles of physics, using algebra and trigonometry; the principles and applications of electricity and magnetism, including circuits, electrostatics, electromagnetism, waves, sound, light, optics, and modern physics topics; with emphasis on problem solving. Co-requisite: PHYS-1402 COURSE TYPE Academic Core COURSE GOALS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Course goals and learning outcomes support the Foundational Component Areas defined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Course goals are linked to the respective Core Curriculum Competencies: Critical Thinking Skills, Communication Skills, Empirical and Quantitative Skills, and Teamwork. Specific competencies are identified in designated course goals and learning outcomes. Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 1. Solve problems involving the interrelationship of fundamental charged particles, and electrical forces, fields, and currents. 2. Apply Kirchhoff’s Rules to analysis of circuits with potential sources, capacitance, inductance, and resistance, including parallel and series capacitance and resistance. 3. Solve problems in the electrostatic interaction of point charges through the application of Coulomb’s Law. PHYS-1402 Tarrant County College Page 1 of 3 4. Solve problems involving the effects of magnetic fields on moving charges or currents, and the relationship of magnetic fields to the currents which produce them. 5. Use Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws to determine electromotive forces and solve problems involving electromagnetic induction. 6. Articulate the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and superposition of waves. 7. Describe the characteristics of light and the electromagnetic spectrum. 8. Develop techniques to set up and perform experiments, collect data from those experiments, and formulate conclusions from an experiment. 9. Demonstrate the collections, analysis, and reporting of data using the scientific method. 10. Record experimental work completely and accurately in laboratory notebooks, and communicate experimental results clearly in written reports. 11. Solve problems applying the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and superposition of waves. 12. Solve practical problems involving optics, lenses, mirrors, and optical instruments. 13. Demonstrate an understanding of teamwork by collaborating in problem solving sessions, or open discussion on the same, to include but not limited to setting up the problems, data collection, data analysis, and drawing conclusions. COURSE ASSESSMENT Student success is measured by a variety of assessment techniques aligned with course goals and learning outcomes. Individual faculty members are responsible for designing evaluation instruments to measure student mastery of course goals and learning outcomes and indicating the nature of such evaluation instruments in the instructor’s class requirements. This course consists of both a lecture and a laboratory and only one grade is assigned for the course. Individual instructors are free to determine the percentage that the laboratory portion of the course is to count toward the course grade. However, since physics is an experimental science, and since the assigning of a passing grade for the course infers to transfer institutions that the student passed both lecture and lab, the following policy applies to all physics, physical science, and astronomy courses. To receive a passing grade in the course, all students are required to pass the laboratory portion of the course as determined by the laboratory instructor. PHYS-1402 Tarrant County College Page 2 of 3 STUDENT ACCESSIBILITY RESOURCES Any student with a documented disability needing academic accommodations is required to contact the Student Accessibility Resources (SAR) Office located on each campus to schedule an appointment with the Coordinator of SAR. All discussions are confidential. Because SAR accommodations may require early planning and are not provided retroactively, students are encouraged to contact SAR as early in the semester as possible. SAR is responsible for approving and coordinating all disability-related services. TCC professors will honor requests for accommodation when they are issued by SAR. SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY Students are responsible for adhering to the TCCD policy on scholastic dishonesty as stated in the online student handbook at www.tccd.edu.
