Student Learning Outcomes Apply the fundamentals of physics to quantitatively and qualitatively solve problems in electrostatics, electric field and Gauss’ Law, electric potential and potential energy, circuits, magnetic field and Ampere’s law, magnetic induction and Faraday’s law, with electromagnetic waves and AC circuits as optional topics.
Interpret and translate a conceptual description of a physical context (with or without a visual representation) into its mathematical expression.
Effectively communicate, both orally and in writing, problem solving methods and results, the reasoning and assumptions behind the choice of method/model, and implications of the results in the specific physical context.
Clearly and accurately communicate data collected using appropriate laboratory tools and apparatus in a graphical format.
Accurately analyze and interpret data and measurements to draw valid conclusions.
Collaborate effectively in applying course specific content to problem-solving, data collection and data analysis.
Identify and explain how previously learned physics concepts apply to everyday life.
