Electromagnetism: Able to explain basic concepts such as Coulomb's law, electric fields, and electric potential. Able to explain that an electric field produces a magnetic field and calculate the strength of a magnetic field in simple cases.
Quantum theory: Able to explain the particle nature and wave nature of light and electrons and able to calculate discrete spectra from Bohr's atomic model.
Calculus-based mechanics: Able to express the laws of mechanics and deal with basic problems using calculus.
Outline:
Physics is a discipline that explores natural phenomena, which is used in all fields as the basis of modern science and technology. In these lectures, students will cultivate the ability to systematically and logically think about natural phenomena by learning physics, and acquire physical perspectives and ways of thinking to scientifically elucidate various natural phenomena. In year 3, students will mainly learn the basics of electromagnetism and quantum theory. Students will also learn elementary content regarding how to handle mechanics using differential integration.
Style:
Classes are composed of quizzes (review of previous classes), lecture explanations (new learning content), and exercises (confirmation of study content).
[Class time: 60 hours]
