    Description
    This lecture/laboratory course is the second in the calculus-based engineering physics series. The course continues the concept of field theory and develops the concepts of Maxwell's equations. Topics include: Coulomb's Law, Gauss' Law, Electric Potential, Biot-Savart Law, Ampere's Law, and Faraday's Law. Kirchoff's Laws and AC circuits are introduced. Solutions to numerical and theoretical problems are emphasized at the calculus level.
