PHYS-152 University Physics II

This calculus-based course continues the topics in physics covered in Physics 151 and begins with temperature and heat, the thermal properties of matter, and the lasw of thermodynamics. It then switches to electromagnetism and covers electric charge and field, Gauss' law, electrical potential and capacitance, electric currents and DC circuits. Next magnetism, electromagnetic induction, Faraday's law and AC circuits are discussed. This is followed by Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves.
