PHY 2054L - College Physics II Laboratory

1 credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): PHY 2053 and PHY 2053L with a minimum grade of “C” in each course
Corequisite(s): PHY 2054
This laboratory course accompanies PHY 2054 and is the second part of a sequence of two courses. The sequence includes investigations that illustrate and explore concepts and principles related to force and motion, work and energy, rotation, gravity, properties of matter, electric charges and currents, resistance and capacitance, magnetism and electromagnetic induction, optics, and nuclear radiation. The course is designed to encourage the concept of “learning by doing” and enhance the student learning of physical concepts. It introduces students to experimental procedures, techniques and equipment; it involves setting up the laboratory equipment, collection of data, interpretation of experimental data, and preparation of a lab report.
