Physics 122, electricity and
magnetism, is for Engineering and Physical Science students. It is the second or third Calculus based
Physics course. This course is very analytical. The main topics of Physics 122 are
electrostatics, DC circuits, magnetism, electromagnetism, alternating current,
electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic waves. The associated lab, physics 122L, is required
with this course. The intent of this
course is to introduce basic physical laws of electricity and magnetism,
develop the language of physics, and acquire analytical skills. The prerequisites are Physics 102, Physics
121, Math 150, and Math 160. It is
highly recommended that students also enroll in Physics 122W. Physics 122W is a supplementary
problem-solving workshop designed to increase students’ success in Calculus
based Physics. (TR: CSU; UC Transfer

Grading: Grades are based on 3 examinations, homework,
laboratories, and the final exam. Grades
will be based on your percentage of the possible total point distribution with
some curving. Grades will be posted online.
Chapter
homework assignments are due the class meeting following the close of the
chapter’s lecture.

Homework guidelines: 1. Homework more than one day late will lose
three points (20%).
2.
Homework more
than 2 weeks late will not be accepted.
3.
Put your name,
class, and date in the upper right hand corner.
4.
Label chapter
number on the top line.
5.
Clearly number
the problems in the left margin, otherwise do not write in the margins .
6.
If homework
problems are not done in numerical order, please note.
7.
Staple multiple
pages together and write as legibly as possible.

Additional Help
Physics 122W
This
“study” class is highly recommended by the instructor. This problem-solving workshop class gives the
student time to do their Physics 122 homework with access to an instructor and
other students.
Tutors
The
department has FREE tutoring services available in the physics library (PS112). The hours for this FREE tutoring service are
determined the second week of classes and vary from semester to semester
(depending on funding).

Optional
Books
The
optional books, Study Guide and Schaum’s outline series, are excellent for the
student seeking additional help. They
are short and concise and recommended by the instructor.

Videos
A
complete collection of the physics videos, "The Mechanical Universe",
is available in the learning center.
Viewing these videos is not required, but highly recommended since they
are very helpful and present the ideas in another setting. Some of the videos are beyond the scope of
this class, but all the videos are helpful.
