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 is due by Monday morning (10 AM). Here is an instruction on how to do the quiz. There will be a similarly short and simple quiz 3 and quiz 4 next week.—4:10PM, May 01, 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.
