Course Description:
Topics covered include electrostatics, the electric field, Gauss’s law, electric potential, capacitors and dielectrics, current and resistance, the magnetic field, Ampere’s law, Faraday’s law, inductance, oscillations, and electromagnetic waves. Prer., PES 111, Coreq., MATH 136Volume 2 Electricity and Magnetism/Light (Chapters 21–33) 1-4292-0133-9
The Sixth Edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers offers a completely integrated text and media solution that will help students learn most effectively and will enable professors to customize their classrooms so that they teach most efficiently. The text includes a new strategic problem-solving approach, an integrated Math Tutorial, and new tools to improve conceptual understanding.

Student Solutions Manual
The Solutions Manual for Students provides answers to every other odd end-of-chapter problem, presented in the same format and with the same level of detail as the Instructor's Solutions ManualStudent Study Guide
Each chapter contains a description of key ideas, potential pitfalls, true-false questions that test essential definitions and relations, questions and answers that require qualitative reasoning, and problems and solutions. This edition uses the same two-column format for equations as the Worked Examples in the text, and includes "Try it Yourself" features with answers in the back.

Scientific Calculators:
Hewlett Packard HP 35 S
Hewlett Packard HP 33 S
If you can program and apply calculators to assist you in your problem solving, you are increasing your skill set. Calculators will be necessary for homework and will be allowed to be used during exams; HOWEVER, enough INTERMEDIATE STEPS MUST BE SHOWN to show you understand how to solve the problem.
Computers, Apple I-Touch and PDA's are not allowed to be used for exams.
Homework:
Homework will be graded. Please show your work or you will not receive credit.
Please late homework will not be accepted once the solutions have been posted on the web.
Exams:
There will be four exams given during the Summer Term 2008.
The final or test 4 will be comprehensive, but will emphasize the material covered after the third exam.
Unless arrangements have been made PRIOR to any exam, THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS. MISSED EXAMS WILL RECEIVE A SCORE OF ZERO. Since the material in this class is foundation for many subsequent classes, no exam scores will be dropped.Grading Policy:
