PHYS-111 General Physics II (calculus)

General Physics 111 is the second semester of a three-semester, calculus-based physics course. The course will enable the student to solve problems, using calculus methods when applicable, for the major concepts in physics to include: heat; kinetic theory of gases; thermodynamics; waves; electrostatics; DC and AC circuits; magnetism; electromagnetic interactions, and electromagnetic radiation. The student will develop the ability to interpret and apply the experimental laws and fundamental principles of physics to describe the behavior of the physical world. In the laboratory program, the student will develop the ability to appraise, use and interpret data collected (often by MBL) to express mathematically and/or explain the physical phenomena observed.
