Descriptif

Physics II (PHY104) provides an overview
of numerous physics concepts related
to the description of light and of electromagnetic
phenomena.
This course introduces the concept of
fields in physics, in particular with the
electric and magnetic fields, and develops
students’ understanding of electricstatics,
magnetostatics, electrical circuits, geometrical
and wave description of light. In
addition, students explore concepts such
as Coulomb’s law, Lorentz force, Gauss’
law, Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s circuit laws,
Faraday’s law, and others.

Upon completion of the course, the
students will understand how the classical
field theory of electromagnetism with the
set of Maxwell equations can describe in
a unified way many physical phenomena,
from the propagation of light to electrostatics,
magnetostatics and electrical
circuits.
