Fundamentals of Physics II continues with basics of physics for students who are not expecting to major in either engineering or the physical sciences. It deals with the phenomena, concepts, and theories of classical and modern physics, including the following topics: electricity, magnetism, optics, and selected topics from atomic physics. The course demands a mathematical knowledge of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and vectors.

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED PHYS 101 (OR ITS EQUIVALENT)TO TAKE THIS COURSE.

SECTION: A
SEMESTER: Spring, 2002

COURSE MEETING DAYS AND TIMES: Section A: Tu, Th 5:30 - 6:55 PM

INSTRUCTOR: Mr. Jens Otto Mose
OFFICE LOCATION: Room: D-105
TELEPHONE: 410-455-4560 (department office) or 443-226-5444 (my office)
E-MAIL ADDRESS: jomose@aol.com

OFFICE HOURS: I am usually in or around my office during the following times. It is best however to call ahead or tell me after class that you want to meet.

Tuesday, Thursday4:30 - 5:30 PM
Other hours available by appointment!

CRITICAL DATES/ASSIGNMENTS/ACTIVITIES: Pre-determined examination and quiz dates for the semester are not possible because they will depend upon the class "readiness" for the particular testing activity. However, all testing activities will be announced at least one week prior to the event.

HOMEWORK: Problems and other exercises will be assigned on a weekly basis. This is the single most important mechanism by which you will learn the material and your efforts should focus on these problems.

Each week, a quiz will be given on the problems that have been assigned. Depending on the time schedule, somewhere between 10 and 13 quizzes will be given. The lowest is dropped at the end of the semester and for this reason, there is no make-up for missed quizzes. The total of these quizzes will constitute 15% of your final grade.

COURSE PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: This course is intended to provide the student with an introduction to basis concepts of physics. The quantitative methods of analysis of physical principles will be emphasized in the lecture portion of the course, while the techniques of measurement, data analysis, and technical writing will be emphasized in the laboratory.

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS & MATERIALS: This course consists of both a lecture and a laboratory. Laboratory procedures are included in the lab manual and further details will be discussed during the first meeting. You must be registered for a laboratory.

You will need to purchase the following materials at the bookstore.

TEXTBOOK: Physics:Principles with Applications - Volume 2
5th Edition
Doulgas C. Giancoli
Prentice Hall Publishing
(Required)

LAB MANUAL: Laboratory Exercises for PHYS 102

GRAPH PAPER: Graph Paper Kit for Physics

LABORATORY FOLDERS: Packet of folders on which reports are written.
(You may not need these folders if you write on a word processor!)

GRADING FORMULA: The following percentages will be used to determine you final grade for the course.

Homework Quizzes15%
3 Exams - 15% each45%
Laboratory20%
Final Exam20%

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance will be required on all examination dates. These dates will be announced in lecture at least one week in advance. Attendance will also be required during assigned laboratory periods. Attendance in lecture is at the student's discretion. Remember that you are responsible for all lecture material and other assignments. If circumstances are such that you miss a particular lab, you may make it up during the scheduled times (see lab schedule).

ATTENDANCE FOR EXAMINATIONS: If you miss an exam, you must call my office the same day: a make-up exam will be allowed only in cases of legitimate absence and only if you call in on the day of the exam. Make-up exams will be given at the end of the semester.
