In this course, we study electromagnetic phenomena and their mathematical description. Topics include electromagnetic induction, alternating circuits, and the electromagnetic properties of matter. We also introduce Maxwell's equations, which express in remarkably succinct form the essence of the theory. Lectures and discussion; laboratory, three hours a week; weekly problem sets. Evaluation will be based on problem sets, lab work, hour tests, and a final. Prerequisite: Physics 142. Corequisite: Mathematics 105.
