No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1967–68 to 1968–69 (before that, 1966–67 used the number for Electricity and Magnetism I); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

Review of resistive circuits; voltage-current relationships, Kirchhoff’s laws, mesh current and node voltage equations; Thevenin’s, Norton, and Su- perposition theorems; time-domain analysis of RL, RC and RLC networks; phasors, sinusoidal voltages and currents and frequency-domain analysis; power and energy; transients and S-domain analysis; electrical measurements. Chemical Engineering: 2 hours lectures, 2 hours tutorial, one term Electrical Engineering: 3 hours lectures, 3 hours laboratory, 2 hours tutorial, one term Mechanical Engineering: 2 hours lectures, 3 hours laboratory every other week, 2 hours tutorial, one term.

As printed in the 1968–69 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

    Another title: Electricity and Magnetism I, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

    An introductory course in electricity and magnetism.

    (a) - Electrostatics - Coulomb's Law, the electrostatic field, Gauss’ Law. Electric potential and the equations of Laplace and Poisson. Capacitance, stored energy in a capacitor. Polarization properties of dielectrics, displacement, boundary conditions. D.C. circuits, current and resistance, electromotive force, Ohm’s Law, Kirchoff’s Laws.
