No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1994–95 (before that, 1969–70 used the number for Laboratory Further selected experiments in electricity and magnetism, optics, X-ray); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Magnetic fields, Ampére’s law, induced electromotive forces, magnetic devices, magnetic properties of materials, inductance, introduction to Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves.
As printed in the 1988–89 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
