Electricity and magnetism, with a focus on the representation of force and energy in terms of local gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields and fluxes (Gauss’ law). Oscillatory motion and waves. Applications include: electric and magnetic shielding; energy transfer via electric circuits, motors, generators, and transformers;  the creation and propagation of mechanical and electromagnetic (light) waves. Capstone topic(s) from PHY 117 and PHY 118 as selected by instructor.  Lab experiments are integrated into the in-class lectures, discussions and problem solving activities. Three extended-length classes/week plus a discussion section. Satisfies medical school and engineering requirements for an introductory physics II course with labs. Prerequisite: PHY 117. Enrollment limited to 28.
