PHY 208 College Physics II

A continuation of ; part of a two-course, algebra-based sequence in college-level physics. Topics include electrostatics, f ields, potentials, current, magnetism, DC and AC circuits, and geometrical and physical optics. Students will learn about electric and magnetic fields, and will be introduced to the basic components of electrical circuits. PHY 208 explores the physical concepts and principles that constrain Society’s use of electricity, magnetism, and light. All physics majors, minors, and engineers must elect PHY 218.
