No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1963–64 to 1969–70; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

Electrostatics, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, alternating current theory, the development of Maxwell’s equations. 2 lectures {3 hours laboratory on alternate weeks for students not taking Physics 233.)

As printed in the 1964–65 to 1969–70 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

“Hello /r/uwaterloo! I am considering switching into physics (from ECE 1A). I've already contacted my academic advisor but I thought I'd see what you guys think anyway....One thing that worries me is …”

u/chxistine: “… On the other hand, another second year lab was PHYS 232 which was a visual programming (LABVIEW) lab. It was fun but extremely frustrating!! We had to program stepper motors to move, and speakers inside of vacuums to turn on and record the speed of sound inside. …”
