Learning
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
• (CT,
EQ) Apply Coulomb’s Law and Gauss’s Law to analyze electric fields and forces
arising from various arrangements of static charge
• (C)
Differentiate between electric potential and electric potential energy
• (CT, C,
EQ) Describe how a capacitor stores energy and demonstrate how to determine the
capacitance
of, charge on, potential difference across, dielectric constant of, energy
stored in,
or
dimensions of a capacitor
• (CT,
EQ) Apply Kirchoff’s laws and Ohm’s law to determine
a DC circuit component’s current, voltage, or resistance
• (CT,
EQ) Determine the magnetic field produced by various arrangements of moving
charges by applying the Biot-Savart law or Ampere’s
law, and the vector cross product (right hand rule).
• (CT,
EQ) Determine magnetic forces and torque on moving charges, current-carrying
wires, and current loops
• (C, CT,
EQ) Describe how electromagnetic induction occurs and apply Faraday’s law and
Lenz’s
law to
determine various quantities for changing electric and magnetic fields in the
vicinity of
closed
electrical loops or coils
• (C, CT,
EQ) Describe how Maxwell’s equations lead to electromagnetic waves and describe
various
properties of electromagnetic waves (e.g. light speed, electric and magnetic
field
magnitudes
and directions; energy transfer, intensity, momentum, radiation pressure) and
solve
problems
• (C)
Describe the basic regions of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of
wavelength,
frequency
and energy
• (CT, EQ) Apply Snell’s law, Malus’s law, the thin-lens and lens
maker’s equation, and equations for interference and single-slit diffraction to
solve for various quantities involved in optical refraction, polarization,
magnification, interference and diffraction phenomena

Missed
Assignments
Exams may
only be made-up in the case of a documented, extreme emergency, such as
hospitalization. Having a head cold or
dead car battery will not qualify. All
exams will count toward the overall grade.
If you know in advance that you will need to reschedule an exam, please
discuss it with me as soon as possible (I am much more lenient before the exam
day than after).
Late
MasteringPhysics.com assignments
will be penalized a percentage each day after the due date (see settings on the
mastering physics site for details).
Classroom
Etiquette
Be
civil and do not inhibit your classmates’ opportunity to learn. Cell phones and tablets may be used as long
as they are utilized for enhancing the learning experience and are not
distracting to other students (or me).
Honesty
Code
Students
are expected to abide by the UHCL honesty code:
I will be honest in all my
academic activities and will not tolerate dishonesty. Please refer to the student handbook for more
information. Cheating will result in at least a zero for the assignment and
could result in a failure of the
course.
Disability
Services
The University of Houston System complies with
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, pertaining to the provision of reasonable academic
adjustments/auxiliary aids for students with a disability. In accordance with
Section 504 and ADA guidelines, each University within the System strives to
provide reasonable academic adjustments/auxiliary aids to students who request
and require them. If you believe that you have a disability requiring an
academic adjustment/auxiliary aid, please contact your University’s student
disability services center. (UHCL Disability Services, SSCB room 1.301, ph: 281-283-2648, http://prtl.uhcl.edu/disability )
6 Drop
Rule
Students
who entered college for the first time in Fall 2007 or later should be aware of
the course drop limitation imposed by the Texas Legislature. Dropping a course
between the census date and the last day to drop a class for the
semester/session will count as one of your six permitted drops. Students should
take this into consideration before dropping this or any other course. Visit
www.uhcl.edu/records for more information on the 6 drop
rule and the census date information for the semester/session.
