Physics II Course Outline: Electricity, Magnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics at MGCCC, Lab Reports of Physics

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community CollegePhysics

The outline of a physics ii course offered at mississippi gulf coast community college during the fall semester of 2006. The course, with the number phy 2424, covers topics in electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. It is a non-calculus based course primarily for pre-professional majors and consists of four semester credit hours, with three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory. The course description mentions experiments and exercises in the laboratory that reinforce the principles introduced in lecture classes. The textbook for this course is college physics by sears, zemansky, and young, and the laboratory manual is laboratory experiments in college physics by bernard and epp.

TEXTBOOK: College Physics. Seventh Edition. Sears, Zemansky and Young LABORATORY MANUAL: Laboratory Experiments in College Physics. Seventh Edition. Bernard and Epp CORE OBJECTIVES / TOPICS: Core topics to be covered in all Physics II lecture classes: a. magnetism b. electricity c. optics d. gravity The following course objectives cover the minimum core topics that are listed above for this course. Additional objectives are taught at the discretion of the instructor. CONTENT OUTLINE: I Introduction: electric charge, atomic structure; conductors and insulators; electrostatic charging by induction; applications of Coulomb's law II The electric field: calculation of electric fields from known charge distributions; the concept of field lines; Gauss’ law and applications III Electrical potential energy: the potential; calculation of potential distributions from known charge distributions; the mapping of electric fields and potentials; the cathode ray tube IV Capacitance: the parallel plate capacitor; capacitors in series and parallel configurations; capacitors as elements in circuits; stored energy in capacitors

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

  1. Use Coulomb's law to calculate the forces of interaction between charges.
  2. Use Coulomb's law to determine the electric fields arising from known distributions of charge. Use Gauss' law to calculate the electric fields arising from simple continuous charge distributions.
  3. Determine the potential distribution from simple charge arrangements with spherical, cylindrical or planar distributions.
  4. Solve potential and charge distribution problems for capacitors in simple circuits.
  5. Use the Kirchhoff equations to solve for current and potential distributions in simple dc circuits; solve for transient currents and voltages in simple RC circuits.
  6. Describe trajectories of charged particles moving in uniform magnetic fields; calculate the forces on current carrying conductors in uniform magnetic fields.
  7. Calculate magnetic fields arising from simple current distributions; use Ampere's law to find distributions of magnetic fields.
  8. Explain the operation of simple DC motors and generators.
  9. Determine mutual and self-inductance for simple arrangements of coils.
  10. Calculate the phasors for resistive, capacitive and inductive elements in ac circuits; determine the resonant condition for AC circuits.
  11. Construct ray diagrams for optical reflection and refraction at plane and spherical interfaces, construct ray tracing diagrams and solve the lens equation for optical systems having two elements (lenses or mirrors).
  12. Set up simple DC circuits for the investigation of current and voltage distribution; measure capacitance and operation of an oscilloscope.
  13. Use an optical bench to measure focal lengths of lenses and mirrors.
