Electricity & Magnetism
Electricity and Magnetism (formerly PHYS 0110) The physical principles of electricity and magnetism are developed with calculus and applied to the electrical structure of matter and the electromagnetic nature of light. Practical topics from electricity and magnetism include voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, and AC and DC circuits. Laboratory work includes an introduction to electronics and to important instruments such as the oscilloscope. (PHYS 0108 or 0109, MATH 0122)
This course was definitely one of the more difficult in terms of homework volume and difficulty, but the grading was fair and even though I often struggled on homework I felt well prepared for exams and was able to do well in the class. Professor Graham was great and very enthusiastic
I loved this course. I learned a lot of material that was very interesting. The instructor was fun and engaging. The amount of homework was fair and so was the grading. This is my favorite class I have taken at Midd (Second Semester Freshman).
Professor Graham is great. E&M is hard but applicable to almost all other physics. The math we learned is useful and not to hard. There are 3 problem sets du every week; each takes about 2-3 hrs. Once you get in a rhythm the work load isn't too bad.
