About Physics II

Physics II introduces Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics.

General Topics:

• Electricity
  • Charged particles and their forces.
  • Electric field and electric potential.
  • Circuits
• Magnetism
  • The magnetic force on charges.
  • Creating magnetic fields.
  • Magnetic induction
• Optics
  • The ray theory of light.
  • Image formation.

About Physics II

After we are done, we should be able to answer questions like:

• Why does static electricity make your hair stand up?
• Why are some high voltage sources dangerous while others are not?
• How do wireless charges work?
• How do we correct for nearsightedness?

Technology Tools

There are several tools that we are going to lean heavily on this semester:

• Class Website (distributing material)
• Microsoft Teams (virtual office hours)
• Microsoft OneNote (lecture notes)

You need to make sure you can use all of these tools ASAP.

Information about each of these tools is in the “Course Materials and Resources” section on Blackboard

Assignments

Assignments: Baseline Quizzes

• Before the start of each module, you will take a multiple-choice quiz in Blackboard.
• This quiz will be:
  • Available before you take it on the class website
  • Proctored - You are to take them alone and without notes.
• These quizzes will require you do some reading, basic background research, and perform some simple calculations.

Assignments: Book

• This course is based on the free and open calculus-based physics textbooks from OpenStax:
  • “University Physics” (Parts II and III)
• You may also use another book if you wish.
  • Reading quizzes may have some questions specific to the OpenStax book.
  • Homework problem sets are independent of any text.

Assignments: Homework - Problems Sets

• Homework sets will be distributed as PDF on the class website
• You should work each problem, and keep organized copies of your solutions.
• One problem will be marked for writing up as an Example Problem Write-up.
• Take a Blackboard quiz that will ask questions about the problem set.
• Online Homework and Example Problem Writeups are due at 11:00 PM at the start of the next module.

Assignments: Homework - Example Problem Write-up

• Each problem set will contain two starred problems.
• These problems are to be written up on engineering paper, and you will upload a scanned copy to Blackboard.

Assignments: Homework - Paper Submissions Format

Assignments: Homework - Paper Submissions Rubric

20% - Formatting

20% - Neatness

30% - Explanation

30% - Solution

Assignments: Homework - Uploading Example Problem Write-ups

You need to upload a single PDF scan of your homework. You should use a scanning app to do this:

• Google Drive
• Microsoft Office Lens
• Adobe Scan
• CamScan
• Many, many, more

Assignments: Homework - Blackboard Quizzes

• Homework quizzes will consist of questions about problems you worked.
• The link to each quiz will be in the folder for the module.

Assignments: Module Quizzes

• Module Quizzes will be taken in class.
• You will be given an equation sheet to use.
• They will consist of multiple problems and/or conceptual questions.
• Each quiz will contain multiple questions and/or parts.

Course Grade

• Four weighting categories
  • 50% Module Quizzes
  • 20% Example Problem Write-up
  • 20% Online Homework
  • 10% Baseline Quizzes

Course Grade

For each assignment, you earn an A, B, C, D, or U.

Course Grade

You letter grade for the course will be determined for the weighted assignment GPA.
