COURSE:
Description: This is the second course of the calculus-based introductory physics sequence. The course covers concepts of electric charges and forces, electric field and potential, electric circuits, magnetic field and electromagnetic induction, and electromagnetic field and waves.. This course is required for most science and engineering majors.
Objectives:
To develop students’ problem solving skills in a systematic manner, while providing a balance of quantitative reasoning and conceptual understanding.
Outcomes: Upon the completion of this course, students should be able to 1) evaluate electrostatic forces in a system of multiple point charges or continuous charge distributions; 2) evaluate electric field due to a system of multiple point charges or continuous charge distrib utions; 3) calculate electric flux and apply Gauss’ law; 4) calculate conductivity, charge and current densities in conductors; 5) apply Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s laws in circuit analysis; 6) evaluate capacitance for various geometries; 6) apply Ampere’s and Biot-Savart’s laws to evaluate magnetic forces and magnetic field due to a system of moving charges and current paths; 7) calculate magnetic flux and apply Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws to current loops; 8) conduct steady-state and transient circuit analysis involving combinations of inductors, capacitors and resistors; and 9) solve problems involving motion of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields.
Structure: Students have the responsibility for first exposure to the material through online activities and assessments that will have to be completed prior to each class. Class time is used to summarize content and deal with groups for recitation sections during which problem solving strategies will be reinforced. Full details of problem solving session arrangements will be given by your instructor in the first week of the semester.
Assessment: All homework is done online using Mastering Physics , and counts up to 10% toward student’s final grade.
Online quizzes are graded and count 5% toward students’ final grade. All students use Mastering Physics to answer online quiz questions.
Completing Practice Problems counts 10% toward students’ final grade. These assignments are administered online on Mastering Physics.
Weekly Tests count 30% toward students’ final grade for sections. Online section students complete

The online lectures cover the corresponding sections of the text and the solved examples listed in the course schedule. One of the main advantages of this textbook is the large number of solved examples that cover all topics included in the course. Pay attention to these solved examples!

 Online Lecture Quizzes (submitted in Mastering Physics)
There will be 16 online lecture quizzes. Study the corresponding sections in the book, review the recommended solved examples in your textbook, and view any online lecture notes posted before answering each quiz.
You have only two submissions in each question to discourage guesswork.
Due dates Please note the due dates for all online assignments.
In-Class Meetings:


Students will come to class 2 times every week: one in-class Lecture Review Sessions and one
Problem Solving Session. All Lecture Reviews will take place in Burson 121; Problem Solving Session locations differ for different sections - please consult Banner for exact meeting locations.
INTERNET ONLY SECTION STUDENTS (SECTION 002) DO NOT HAVE IN-CLASS MEETINGS.
Lecture Review Session time is used to summarize content, clarify concepts and deal with
 misconceptions, subtleties, connections and applications. Students are encouraged to participate in class by asking/answering questions and clarifying doubts.
During Problem Solving Sessions, examples will be solved and problem solving strategies will be reinforced.
Online Homework and Practice Problems:
All Homework and Practice Problems will be posted on Mastering Physics weekly. Students are encouraged to attempt Practice Problems before attempting Homework problems.
Online Weekly Tests and Topical Tests:
There is a mini-Test each week administered in Problem Solving session to in-class section students and on Expert TA for online section students which must be attempted every Friday .
There will also be 3 Topical Tests throughout the semester. These tests will also be administered on
Expert TA.
There will be NO extension of deadline or make up on any Quiz, Homework, Practice Assignment, or Weekly
Test. However, lowest 2 scores of each category (except Topical Tests) will be dropped in consideration for the fact that it is inevitable that some students will miss completing certain assignments due to various personal reasons.

Academic Integrity
Academic honesty and integrity are essential to the existence and growth of an academic community. Without maintenance of high standards of honesty, members of the instructional faculty are defrauded, students are

unfairly treated, and society itself is poorly served. Maintaining the academic standards of honesty and integrity is ultimately the formal responsibility of the instructional faculty; and this responsibility is shared by all members of the academic community. UNC Charlotte strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained. Therefore, we celebrate diversity that includes, but is not limited to ability/disability, age, culture, ethnicity, gender, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.
Students have the responsibility to know and observe the requirements of The UNCC Code of Student
Academic Integrity (Catalog p. 275). This code forbids cheating, fabrication or falsification of information, multiple submissions of academic work, plagiarism, abuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. Any special requirements or permission regarding academic integrity in this course will be stated by the instructor, and are binding on the students. Academic evaluations in this course include a judgment that the student’s work is free from academic dishonesty of any type; and grades in this course therefore should be and will be adversely affected for academic dishonesty. Students who violate the code can be expelled from
UNCC. The normal penalty for first offense is zero credit on the work involving dishonesty and further substantial reduction of the course grade. In almost all cases the course grade is reduced to F. Students are expected to report cases of academic dishonesty to the course instructor.
