Format of the course: In the summer, this course is completely online and specifically designed for flexibility around students' schedules. There are no required synchronous components. Exams are on Canvas and open for several days. The opportunities to interact with real instructors (recitations, help hours, office hours) are distributed throughout the day and all sessions are open to all students. The course can be taken from abroad.
Associated courses: Phys 2320L. There is no requirement to take both courses together.
An honors version of the course (Phys 2320H) is available Fall/Spring.
Along with Phys 2310, this course provides the necessary physics foundation for Engineering and Science majors.
Topics covered:
- Electric forces and fields
- Electrical currents
- DC circuits
