PHY 110 ADVANCED GENERAL PHYSICS II

A calculus-based introduction to thermodynamics (the study of temperature, heat, and entropy); electricity and magnetism (how electric and magnetic forces govern much of the world around us, from electric charge to circuits to magnets and induction); and optics (the behavior of light and images). The class is taught in studio style: lecture and laboratory are intermingled, each informing the other.

Notes

Six hours of combined lecture, discussion, and laboratory per week. PHY 109 (or PHY 107) is a prerequisite for Course 110. Students may only receive credit for only one set of introductory physics courses either PHY 107, PHY 108 or PHY 109, PHY 110.

Prerequisite

Prerequisite or parallel: MAT 113 (or a more advanced calculus course). Potential physics majors should enroll in this course rather than PHY 108; students who have taken PHY 108 may not receive credit for course 110.

Registration Restrictions

Open to first-year students and sophomores only.

Enrollment Limit

Enrollment limited to 18 students per section.
