PHY 127 - Classical Physics C


Second or third of a three-part sequence for physical-sciences or engineering majors. It focuses on electromagnetism using the concepts of vector fields and scalar potentials, and on DC and AC electric circuits. Calculus is used concurrently with its development in MAT 126 . Three lecture hours and one recitation hour per week. Associated Labs (PHY 133  or PHY 134 ) are offered separately. Not for credit in addition to PHY 122 , PHY 132 , or PHY 142 . This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.
