Supplementary
The Feynman Lectures on Physics, and
Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics by Serway
Goals: This course is designed to give science and engineering majors instruction in the fundamental principles of heat, electricity and magnetism
Prerequisites by Topic:
Differential and integral calculus (Calculus I) and introductory mechanics
Topics to be covered:
1. Temperature and heat
2. Thermal properties of matter and ideal gas
3. The first law and second law of thermodynamics
4. Electric fields, Gauss’s Law and electric potential
5. Capacitance and Dielectrics
6. Current, resistance and dc circuits
7. Magnetic field and its sources
8. Electromagnetic induction
9. Inductance and ac circuits
Discussion Sessions and Laboratories
The discussion sessions will review/preview physics concepts and work on specific problems.
Participation in discussion sessions is mandatory. Students will work in groups, and in some cases, problems will be worked out in class with the assistance of your TA’s. Quizzes will be given during discussion sessions.
Participation in all laboratories is mandatory for the successful completion of this course. If you have to miss a lab, it is your responsibility to contact your lab instructor so that you may attend another lab section the same week or make-up for the missed lab in the make-up lab week at the end of semester. In order to pass the course, you have to take part in all laboratory sessions (or make-up lab). No lab grade will be dropped.
Exam/Tests
The exam/tests will contain both quantitative and conceptual problems. The exams will be closed book and closed notes. All exams are mandatory and no grade will be dropped.
There will be two tests plus a final exam.
If you cannot come for an exam/test for a good reason, arrange in advance with me to schedule for a make-up.
Homework
We use the Mastering Physics online homework system. Students may work in groups to do the homework. The online homework must be submitted by each student individually.
No homework grade will be dropped.
The deadline for each homework is typically one week after it is assigned. Be advised not to wait till the last minute for the online submissions. It is your responsibility to submit your homework before the deadline.
Reading
Assignments
You are required to read each chapter before and after it is discussed in class.
Disability Statement
If you have a physical, learning, or
psychological disability and require accommodations, please let me know as soon
as possible.
Academic honesty
Academic
dishonesty is defined in University Regulation 802, Revision 2 as “an act
attempted or performed which misrepresents one’s involvement in an academic
task in any way, or permits another student to misrepresent the latter’s
involvement in an academic task by assisting the misrepresentation.” And there are rules and procedures to handle
such cases, and serious penalties will be imposed. Note that a student who copies and a student
who let’s another student copy are both covered by the university rules.
Grading
Tests 20 points each (20 x 2 = 40 points)
Final (cumulative) 20 points
Homework 20 points
Labs 20 points
Discussion 10 points
Total 110 points
