General Information:

PH212: General Physics: Electrostatics and Magneto statics with calculus

Instructor: Bruce Emerson

Class

M/W: 3:15 -5:15 Remote

Labs

 

W: 5:40 - 8:30 Remote

Remote Land: The schedule above represent the formal class schedule. I'm expecting that we will meet remotely for 60-90 min each day and I will be available to answer question for a couple hours for the lab. More work will be done in advance and outside of 'class'.

Textbook:

No Text is required but you will find that having a copy of the suggested text very helpful. See the text link on the course webpage

NOTE: This is a VERY tentative syllabus. Like the weather it is subject to change without notice as I continue to search for more effective ways to structure this material. My focus is trying to develop some deeper understanding of this material and science in general rather than trying to cover lots of different topics lightly.
