    Description
    (Prerequisite: PHYS 108A. This prerequisite must have been completed within the past 5 years.) A continuation of introductory topics in physics, focusing on the basic laws and concepts of electricity and magnetism, including the treatment of electric fields, charges and potentials, capacitance, electric current, basic DC and AC circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic waves, light, and geometric optics. Additionally, the course explores modern physics, including relativity, quantum physics, molecular physics, and nuclear physics. Emphasizes problem-solving based in algebra and trigonometry, as well as laboratory investigations and experimental techniques.
