PHYS 2210 - Understanding Electricity and Magnetism

(3 Credits)

An introduction ranging from its history to connections with real-world phenomena in engineering and biology, and common sense on the understanding of the phenomena. The student is carefully guided through mathematical derivations. Physics is used to develop the theory and the applications of such things as motors, radios, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems and computers. Not to be held with PHYS 2200, PHYS 2201, PHYS 2600 (016.260) or PHYS 2610 (016.261). Prerequisites: A "C" or better in PHYS 1070 (PHYS 1071, 016.107, 016.106, 016.120), or a "C+" or better in both of PHYS 1020 (PHYS 1021, 016.102) and PHYS 1030 (PHYS 1031, 016.103); and a "C" or better in one of MATH 1230, MATH 1500, MATH 1501 (136.150), MATH 1510 (136.151), MATH 1520 (136.152), the former 136.153, or MATH 1690 (136.169). Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 1200 or MATH 1201 or MATH 1240; and one of MATH 1232, MATH 1690, MATH 1700, MATH 1701, MATH 1710, or the former 136.173.
