No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1971–72 to 1981–82; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Introduction to fundamentals of electromagnetics, circuits, wave motion and propagation. Electromagnetics: Coulomb’s Law, electric field and potential, capacitor; resistivity and Ohm’s Law; Ampere’s Law, magnetic fields and forces, inductor. Circuits: series and parallel circuits, Kirchhoff's laws; ohmic dissipation of energy, stored energies in capacitors and inductors. Wave motion: graphical representation, rotating vectors, superposition. Wave propagation: (i) sound: velocity, wavelength, energy, frequency and resonance. (ii) optics: plane, concave and convex mirrors and lens; reflection and refraction; interference and diffraction, polarization; electricity and light. 3 hour lectures, 2 hours lab, I hour tutorial. Winter and Spring terms.
As printed in the 1971–72 to 1981–82 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
