PHY2200EN - General Physics II

Course description

This course is the second part of the two academic term algebra-based physics course. Topics that will be discussed include electricity and circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic field, light and optics, and modern physics topics such as relativity and quantum physics.

How this course benefits students

By learning physics, students learn to observe and interpret what's happening and make prediction what will happen next. Students will learn this scientific process (observation, interpretation and prediction) as well as laws of physics that help them with interpretation and prediction.

Why this course is important

A deeper understanding of the laws of physics helps students interpret what's happening around them everyday. Physics is a basis of many different fields of science and engineering. Knowlege from this course helps students get prepared for many different career paths.
