PHYS 211B - General Physics IIB

2.5 Credits

This course is a continuation of the calculus-based college physics sequence. The course is taught as three courses (PHYS 211A, 211B, 211C), all of which must be successfully completed to transfer as a semester-length course. Topics for this portion of the course include electricity and magnetism. This course includes both lecture and lab components.

Prerequisites: (2) College-level reading, writing, and math proficiency; and PHYS 211A

Lecture Hours: 2.0
Lab Hours: 1.5
Internship Hours: 0.0
Clinical or Practicum Hours: 0.0
