PHYS 15C Honors Introduction to Physics - III

Covers similar material to PHYS 5C (electricity and magnetism, electromagnetism and Maxwell’s equations, electromagnetic radiation), but in greater depth and with more sophisticated techniques. These include the development and frequent use of Maxwell’s equations in both integral and differential form, the use of electric and magnetic potentials, gauge invariance and connection to modern electrodynamics, generalized impedance in ac circuits, and how accelerating charges produce electromagnetic radiation. Students who are uncertain about their preparation are encouraged to contact the instructor.
