About this course
Overview: PHYS 205 is an introductory calculus-based physics course recommended for science, engineering, and pre-med students. The course covers the principles of electricity and magnetism and includes a hands-on laboratory component. In addition to a standard e-textbook, the course material includes a well-written Study Guide designed for independent study. Video material is also provided for each unit and lab experiment. Outline: PHYS 205 consists of the following twelve units, divided into two parts. Part I Electricity - Unit 1: Electric Fields - Unit 2: Gauss's Law - Unit 3: Electric Potential - Unit 4: Capacitance and Dielectrics - Unit 5: Current and Resistance - Unit 6: Direct Current Circuits Part II Magnetism - Unit 7: Magnetic Fields - Unit 8: Sources of the Magnetic Field - Unit 9: Faraday's Law - Unit 10: Inductance - Unit 11: Alternating Currents - Unit 12: Electromagnetic Waves PHYS 205 includes a compulsory lab component that requires the student to perform six hands-on lab experiments in a place of her/his choice. Essential tools and equipment can be borrowed from the Athabasca University Science Lab, packaged in the Home Lab Kit. The student is expected to provide some additional common household materials. The PHYS 205 Lab Manual explains the following experiments. - Experiment 1: Coulomb's Law - Experiment 2: Ohm's Law and Resistivity - Experiment 3: RC Circuit - Experiment 4: Magnetic Field of a Solenoid - Experiment 5: Electric Motor - Experiment 6…
Prerequisites: PHYS 204 (or PHYS 200 and MATH 265 ) or equivalent.
