    Description
    (Prerequisites: PHYS 207A, and Math 223 or concurrent enrollment. The physics prerequisite must have been completed within the past 5 years.) This course develops both microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of electricity and magnetism. The microscopic viewpoint is described by Maxwell's four equations, which relate electric and magnetic fields to electric charges and currents, and by Coulomb's law. The macroscopic description involves simple AC and DC circuit analysis, which includes Ohm's law and the concepts of resistance, capacitance, inductance, impedance, and electrical resonance.
