| * <<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 interact with all of you, and extend my best wishes for your effective efforts in this course. * 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!
This course had been closed for a while now. Good luck, everyone!—6:14PM, Jan 24, 2016
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.
