    COURSE OVERVIEW
    PHYS 102: GENERAL PHYSICS II
    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    Physics 102 is a calculus-based first-year 2nd Semester University level Physics course intended for
    students planning on a career in the Physical Sciences or Engineering. Topics covered are:
    Coulomb’s law, Electric Fields, Gauss’ law, Electric Potential, Capacitance, Current, Resistance
    Magnetic Fields, Ampere’s and Faraday’s laws with applications, Inductance, and LC Oscillations.
    Physics 101 and Physics 102 together constitute a full course and satisfy requirements for 6 credits of
    first-year Physics in the Science Degree Programs at most Universities.

    TEXTBOOKS & LEARNING MATERIALS


    • Halliday D, Resnick R, Walker J. Fundamentals of Physics. 11th Edition. Wiley, 2018.
    • WileyPLUS access (includes an online copy of the textbook)
    • Scientific calculator

    COURSE REQUIREMENTS
    Physics 101
    Math 107

    LEARNING OUTCOMES
    Upon successful completion of the course, students will:
    • Have an understanding of fundamental concepts of classical physics.
    • Have developed critical thinking skills.
    • Have developed basic calculation skills.

    Material will be posted WhatsApp Group, including Lecture Notes, Assignments, Course
    Announcements, suggested Textbook Problems, and other useful or interesting material related to the
    course.
    ASSESSMENTS:
    Assignments (10%)
    There will be seven assignments due during the term, worth a total of 10% of the final grade. Unless
    prior arrangements have been made with the instructor, late assignments will not be accepted and
    will thus receive a mark of 0.

    Pre-Lecture Quizzes (20%)


    There will be around ten quizzes during the term, worth a total of 20% of the final grade. The quizzes
    will be based on pre-lecture reading assignments. Missed quizzes cannot be made up, but the lowest
    quiz result will be discarded.

    Tests (30%)
    There will be two 90-minute tests held during scheduled class time. Each test is worth 15% of the final
    grade.

    Final Examination (40%)
    The final examination will cover the entire course and is worth 40% of the final grade. It will be held
    at the end of the term sometime during the exam period. The exact date of the exam will be announced
    as soon as it is set by the University.

    ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
    Students are expected to contribute toward a positive and supportive environment and are required to
    conduct themselves in a responsible manner. Academic misconduct includes all forms of academic
    dishonesty such as cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, fraud, deceit, using the work of others without
    their permission, aiding other students in committing academic offences, misrepresenting academic
    assignments prepared by others as one’s own, or any other forms of academic dishonesty including
    falsification of any information on any FUC document.
