COURSE DESCRIPTION:
General Physics II is a continuation of calculus-based college physics. The course is taught as three courses
(PHYS 210A, PHYS 210B, and PHYS 210C) that include lecture and lab. All three must be successfully
completed to transfer as a semester-length course. Topics include: Electricity, magnetism.
COURSE PREREQUISITE: College-level reading, writing, and math proficiency and PHYS 211A
RATIONALE:
This course is intended for academic transfer students intending to pursue a professional career (physics,
chemistry, engineering, etc.). Students who are more comfortable in smaller classes but need a thorough
knowledge of physics may benefit from this course.
