PHYS 207B - Electricity and Magnetism

Institution:

College of Marin

Subject:

Description:

(5.0 Units) (Prerequisites: Physics 207A, and Math 223 or concurrent enrollment. Four lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This course develops both microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of electricity and magnetism. The microscopic viewpoint is described by Maxwell's four equations, which relate electric and magnetic fields to electric charges and currents, and by Coulomb's law. The macroscopic description involves simple AC and DC circuit analysis, which includes Ohm's law and the concepts of resistance, capacitance, inductance, impedance, and electrical resonance.
