STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
|
|
At the successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
|
|
1
|
Articulate the fundamental concepts of electricity and electromagnetism, including
electrostatic potential energy, electrostatic potential, potential difference, magnetic field, induction, and Maxwell’s Laws.
|
|
2
|
State the general nature of electrical forces and electrical charges, and their relationship to electrical current.
|
|
3
|
Solve problems involving the inter-relationship of electrical charges, electrical forces, and electrical fields.
|
|
4
|
Apply Kirchhoff’s Laws to analysis of circuits with potential sources, capacitance, and resistance, including parallel and series capacitance and resistance.
|
|
5
|
Calculate the force on a charged particle between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor.
|
|
6
|
Apply Ohm’s law to the solution of problems.
|
|
7
|
Describe the effects of static charge on nearby materials in terms of Coulomb’s Law.
|
|
8
|
Use Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws to find the electromotive forces.
|
|
9
|
Describe the components of a wave and relate those components to mechanical
vibrations, sound, and decibel level.
|
|
10
|
Articulate the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference and superposition of waves.
|
|
11
|
Solve real-world problems involving optics, lenses, and mirrors.
|
|
12
|
Prepare laboratory reports that clearly communicate experimental information in a logical and scientific manner.
|
|
13
|
Conduct basic laboratory experiments involving electricity and magnetism.
|
|
14
|
Relate physical observations and measurements involving electricity and magnetism to theoretical principles.
|
|
15
|
Evaluate the accuracy of physical measurements and the potential sources of error in the measurements.
|
|
16
|
Design fundamental experiments involving principles of electricity and magnetism.
|
|
17
|
Identify appropriate sources of information for conducting laboratory experiments involving electricity and magnetism.
