| <<fl(W)>>elcome to the 2nd part of Classical Electrodynamics! Many of you are familiar to me from my past teaching, but some of you are new to me. I am glad to see ''everyone''! I extend my best wishes for your effective efforts in this course, and I hope that you will have fun while learning by challening yourself. * The syllabus has been updated with the correct office hour information. However, there is no office hour today (Mar 31), as I have a dentist appointment.—~-''<<DateTime(2015-03-31T12:12:16-0700)>>''-~ |

Welcome to Phys 110B, 2015!
Quiz 2 is now open for your work. Please go here to do quiz 2. Note that there are three quiz questions in total. It will be by Monday morning. There will be a similarly short and simple quiz 3 and quiz 4 next week.
What is this course about?
Classical electrodynamics is all about the light. And electrons and other charged particles... In this course, we will start with Maxwell's equations—something of a monument in the history of physics—and study some conclusions that we can draw from them. By doing so, we will learn about the light, or the electronmagnetic field, and its interaction with charged particles within the realm of “classical” physics. We will learn conservation principles, waves, radiation, and end with the special relativistic view of light.
