Course Description
Fundamentals of Physics II offers a comprehensive journey through the intricate and fascinating world of physics. Spanning 29 hours and 48 minutes, this course delves deep into various core aspects of physics, making it an essential resource for anyone in the Basic Studies category, particularly under the subcategory of Physics.
The course begins with an exploration of electrostatics, laying a foundation by examining the behaviors and properties of electric charges when they are not in motion. This knowledge is then built upon with a thorough investigation of electric fields, providing insight into the forces between charged objects and the fields they generate.
Next, the course addresses Gauss's Law in two parts. Initially, you will develop a fundamental understanding of the law itself, which is crucial for analyzing the distribution of electrostatic fields. Following this, the application of Gauss's Law to both conductors and insulators is discussed, equipping you with practical skills to solve complex electrostatic problems.
The emphasis then shifts to the electric potential and conservation of energy, concepts integral to understanding the work done by electric forces and the potential energy stored within electric fields. Coupled with this is an exploration of capacitors, which are vital components in electric circuits with numerous applications in modern technology.
Understanding electrical resistance and the principles behind it is pivotal for grasping how current flows through materials. This naturally transitions into an examination of circuits and an introduction to magnetism, which paves the way for deeper insights into electromagnetic phenomena.
The course also covers Ampere's Law, which relates the circulating magnetic field in a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop. This law is fundamental in the study of electromagnetism and magnetic fields produced by currents.
The phenomena of electromagnetic induction are explained through Lenz's and Faraday's Laws, offering a gateway to understand how electric currents generate magnetic fields and vice versa. This portion is followed by a detailed look at LCR circuits under both DC and AC voltages, providing crucial knowledge for building and analyzing circuit systems.
The course culminates with an in-depth investigation of Maxwell's Equations and their significant implications for electromagnetic waves. This segment offers a comprehensive view of how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate as waves.
In the final segments, light is examined both from the perspective of geometrical optics and wave theory, providing a dual insight into phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and diffraction. The journey continues into the realm of quantum mechanics, starting with key experiments and the wave-particle duality, and progressing through multiple advanced topics, culminating in the sophisticated Schrödinger Equation and a summary of quantum postulates.
Rated highly by students with an average rating of 5 stars, Fundamentals of Physics II is a stellar offering for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of physics. Whether you are a novice or have a basic foundation in physics, this course stands as a critical step forward in your academic or professional journey.
