5.00 Credits
(See general education pages for the requirement this course meets.) Prerequisite: Mathematics 1A (may be taken concurrently). Advisory: Physics 50; English Writing 211 and Reading 211 (or Language Arts 211), or English as a Second Language 272 and 273. Four hours lecture, three hours laboratory. An elementary study of the basic physical laws describing the motion of bodies. Includes the study of oscillations, waves, and sound. Applications to everyday physical phenomena in problem solving using verbal logic, critical thinking, and mathematics up to elementary calculus. In the laboratory, explore experimental scientific procedures by comparing theoretical models to classic experiments using standard measurement techniques, basic uncertainty analysis, and graphical interpretations of data. (PHYS 2A + 2B + 2C = CAN PHYS SEQ A)

Prerequisite: Physics 2A. Advisory: English Writing 211 and Reading 211 (or Language Arts 211), or English as a Second Language 272 and 273. Four hours lecture, three hours laboratory. The laws of mechanics applied to those of electricity and magnetism. An introduction to the physical properties of that fundamental quantity called charge. Includes the study of DC and AC circuits and their elementary applications. Concludes with electromagnetic waves. In the laboratory, learn to construct elementary circuits, measure and analyze their properties with electronic equipment including the oscilloscope, and study the behavior of moving charge in magnetic fields. (PHYS 2A + 2B + 2C = CAN PHYS SEQ A)
