PHYS 2213

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Second course in a three semester introductory physics sequence. The course emphasizes active learning during class. Video lectures are viewed before class; most class time is devoted to problem-solving. Topics include: electric forces and fields, electric energy and potential, circuits, magnetic forces and fields, magnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations. Taught at a level somewhat higher than University Physics, Vol. 2, by Young and Freedman. The math prerequisite is essential: line, surface, and volume integrals are done routinely and occasional use is made of gradient, divergence, and curl.


Prerequisites PHYS 1112 (or strong performance in PHYS 2207) and one of MATH 1920, MATH 2220, or MATH 2240.

Forbidden Overlaps AEP 2170, PHYS 1102, PHYS 2208, PHYS 2213, PHYS 2217

Enrollment Priority Primarily for: students of engineering, physics and related disciplines.

Distribution Requirements (CHPH-AG, OPHLS-AG), (PHS-AS)
