Prerequisite: PHYS 222, MATH 250, or Permission of Instructor.
Course Description: Maxwell's unification of electricity and magnetism was a revolutionary development in Classical Physics. Topics include: electric force, field, potential and current, capacitance, resistance, magnetism, induction, AC/DC circuits, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic waves.
     The primary objective of this course is for you to develop a solid functional understanding and appreciation for the foundations of electromagnetism and its applications.

Course Outcomes:   After taking this course you will be able to;

• determine the electric and potential fields produced by various charge distributions.
• determine the magnetic field produced by various currents.
• understand the circuit elements of resistance, capacitance and inductance.
• analyze DC and AC circuits.
• apply linear network theorems to electric circuits.
• understand how electromagnetic waves propagate.

Course outcomes support outcomes of the Department of Chemistry and Physics.

Assessment and Evaluation:
Your final grade will be determined by your performance on exams (35%), lab (15%), the final (30%), homework (15%), and attendance(5%). We will have 5 exams. The lowest will be dropped leaving 4 exams. Each exam is worth 8.75% (4x8.75%=35%).
The conversion to letter grades will be approximately of the form:

over 93 A,	90 - 92 A-,
87 - 89 B+,,	83 - 86 B,	80 - 82 B-
77 - 79 C+,	73- 76 C	70 - 72 C-
60 - 69 D,	Below 60 F

It is possible (and highly desirable) that everyone in the class will be rewarded an "A".   Please note: NOT writing the final will result in an automatic "F".

Exams:
Each exam will consist of questions similar to homework and examples discussed in class. In solving a problem, the steps that lead to your answer must be shown to receive proper credit. Without intermediate steps, an otherwise correct answer may receive no credit. You may bring an equation sheet of your own devising (hand written) to the exams and final. There are no makeup exams. (Difficult situations may allow a missed exam to be dropped in the computing of your final grade).

Homework and Solutions:
Homework problems will be assigned and solutions will be made available. Your classmates or professors may assist you in mastering these exercises. Mutual assistance is to everyone's advantage.

Any student who needs an accommodation based on the impact of a documented disability should contact me privately to discuss specific needs. Please also contact the AMU Adaptive Services Office (239-280-1654 or adaptiveservices@avemaria.edu) to coordinate reasonable accommodations. Students are expected to provide notification of accommodation requests within the first two weeks of the semester.

Everyone's behavior is expected to be exemplary and, at a minimum, in conformity with the Honor Code. Honor Code violations can result in a grade of F in the course.

The instructor reserves the right to change or modify this course and the syllabus for justifiable reasons, subject to appropriate and timely notice to the students enrolled in this class.
