PHYS 1402 - College Physics II

• solve problems involving the inter-relationship of fundamental charged particles, and electrical forces, fields, and currents;
• apply Kirchhoff’s Rules to analysis of circuits with potential sources, capacitance, inductance, and resistance, including parallel and series capacitance and resistance;
• solve problems in the electrostatic interaction of point charges through the application of Coulomb’s Law;
• solve problems involving the effects of magnetic fields on moving charges or currents, and the relationship of magnetic fields to the currents that produce them;
• use Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws to determine electromotive forces and solve problems involving electromagnetic induction;
• articulate the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and superposition of waves;
• describe the characteristics of light and the electromagnetic spectrum;
• develop techniques to set up and perform experiments, collect data from those experiments, and formulate conclusions from an experiment;
• demonstrate the collections, analysis, and reporting of data using the scientific method;
• record experimental work completely and accurately in laboratory notebooks, and communicate experimental results clearly in written reports;
• solve problems applying the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and superposition of waves;
• solve practical problems involving optics, lenses, mirrors, and optical instruments.
