Physics 122, electricity and
magnetism, is for Engineering and Physical Science students. It is the second Calculus based Physics
course. This course is very analytical. The main topics of Physics 122 are
electrostatics, DC circuits, magnetism, electromagnetism, alternating current,
electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic waves. The associated lab, physics 122L, is required
with this course. The intent of this
course is to introduce basic physical laws of electricity and magnetism,
develop the language of physics, and acquire analytical skills. The prerequisites are Physics 102, Physics
121, Math 150, and Math 160. It is
highly recommended that students also enroll in Physics 199. Physics 199 is a supplementary
problem-solving workshop designed to increase students’ success in Calculus
based Physics. (TR: CSU; UC Transfer

Physics for Scientist and Engineers,
7th edition
Physics
122 laboratory Manual,
Study
Guide to accompany Serway (Optional)

Grading: Grades are based on 3 examinations, homework,
laboratories, and the final exam. Grades
will be based on your percentage of the possible total point distribution with
some curving. Grades will be posted on
the World Wide Web at www.cs.sbcc.edu/physics, then follow the links (Mike
Young ® Grades) or www.cs.sbcc.edu/physics/page/grades.htm Chapter homework assignments are due the
class meeting following the close of the chapter’s lecture.

Additional Help
Physics 199
This
“study” class is highly recommended by the instructor. This problem-solving workshop class gives the
student time to do their Physics 122 homework with access to an instructor and
other students.
Tutors
The
department has FREE tutoring services available in the physics library (PS
112). The hours for this FREE tutoring
service are determined the second week of classes and vary from semester to
semester (depending on funding).
Optional
Books
The
optional books, Study Guide and Schaum’s outline series, are excellent for the
student seeking additional help. They
are short and concise and recommended by the instructor.

Videos
A
complete collection of the physics videos, "The Mechanical Universe",
is available in the learning center.
Viewing these videos is not required, but highly recommended since they
are very helpful and present the ideas in another setting. Some of the videos are beyond the scope of
this class, but all the videos are helpful.
