 Phy 2410 General Physics II  Instructor: Guy Vandegrift email:guy.vandegrift@wright.edu 236-Dwyer Hall Wright State University Lake Campus, Celina OH 45822 - Introductory survey of electricity and magnetism. Uses calculus in interpreting physical phenomena. Topics include electric field and potential, currents, DC circuits, magnetic fields, Faraday’s law, and optics. (4 credit hours.) Also required is the lab PHY2410L: Introductory physics laboratory problems in mechanics, oscillation and thermodynamics (1 credit hour.)

Prerequisites: Undergraduate level PHY 2400 Minimum Grade of D and Undergraduate level MTH 2300 Minimum Grade of D and Undergraduate level MTH 2310 Minimum Grade of D (MTH 2310 can be taken concurrently)

Corequisites: PHY2410L; PHY2410R

The students in the introductory physics class will be expected to:
 * 1) Understand the nature of scientific inquiry
 * 2) Critically apply knowledge of physical theory to a variety of physical problems
 * 3) Distinguish between science and technology and recognize their roles in society
 * 4) Demonstrate an awareness of theoretical, practical, creative and cultural dimensions of scientific inquiry
 * 5) Communicate an understanding of the basic physical principles.

Test bank
This bank currently contains xxx questions and is an Open Educational Resource. But some questions on exams might not appear in the bank. The "study" version contains one rendition of each problem. For more practice use "all" version. This pdf file is much larger because it contains 10 or more renditions of each numerical question, each with a different set of numerical values.

Topics Covered in a 15 week course
The volume and chapter refer to OpenStax University Physics. The N column lists how many questions are in the quizbank quiz. Click on PDF in the 5th column of the first row to view the quizbank. The number in that section links to the quiz. Any question in this bank might be on an exam, and questions not on the bank might even appear on an exam. But the "Essential" questions listed in the last column are a good place to start when preparing for an exam.

Assessment
45% Scheduled tests (every other week) 25% Cumulative final exam 20% Lab reports and weekly labs 10% Quizzes

Lab reports are due via Pilot on Friday after each of the scheduled There is no provision for allowing the 7 scheduled quizzes to be taken after the test date. But extra quizzes might be necessary to allow students to compensate for low test scores or missed quizzes, and for that reason daily attendance is required. Attendance will be taken at every lecture and lab.

Recitation
While attendance at the recitation is not required, it can be used to compensate for a missing lab because 5 lab points are awarded for actively participating in a recitation section. These points can be used to enhance your lab/quiz score up to but not over 100%. These "extra points" cannot cause these scores to exceed 100% however.
