Spring 2022
Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Think, converse and write with significant conceptual precision about electricity and magnetism, using applicable calculus concepts and creating multiple, appropriate visual and mathematical representations of the motion. 2. Make appropriate decisions, converse and write with significant conceptual precision about measurement, the use of applicable scientific equipment to conduct experimental investigation of the electrical interaction, and the design of experiments and evaluation of results of experiments, and draw conclusions from experiment and calculation about possible explanations of electric, magnetic and electro- magnetic phenomena. 3. Formulate questions to move their thinking forward concerning the subject matter of the class and monitor and evaluate their thinking for consistency and reasonableness in the course of study and problem-solving. 4. Appropriately choose and apply the basic concepts and laws of Classical Electricity and Magnetism, expressed in their integral form. 5. Approach problem-solving in a manner appropriate to physics and to the level needed by beginning physics and engineering majors; they will be aware that this may be significantly different from working through exercises encountered in mathematics classes and perhaps previous science classes; and they will be aware of possible uses and impacts of this physics knowledge. 6. Converse and write about the nature of science with some sophistication and approach the problem-solving in physics as aligned to physics as a science, rather than a body of knowledge. 7. Appreciate that the insights provided by Classical Electricity and Magnetism are valuable and useful even though physics has developed beyond Classical Electricity and Magnetism.
