Welcome to Phys 110B, 2015!
There will be our (brief) first quiz on this Thursday in class. Please read the solutions for homework 1 (Homework+), and re-familiarize with the basic principles that went into homework 1. **One week after a homework due date (the same date when solutions are posted), there will be a quiz on the materials related to that homework.**—1:13PM, Apr 14, 2015
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.
