3341 Electricity and Magnetism [ 334
Maxwell's field equations are postulated and conventional laws of electricity
and magnetism are derived from eledromagnetic theo Vector theory is de-
veloped in the course as needed. Three lectures per we%. Prerequisite: Physics
4214 or 4216 and Mathematics 3214.
3342 Electricity and Magnetism I335
Continuation of Physics 3341. Includes electromagnetic waves and radiation
systems and Lorentz transformation of field vectors. Some elementary circuit
theory is derived from electromagnetic theory. Three lectures per week. Pre-
requisite: Physics 3341.
2343 Advanced Laboratory Practice in Electricity ($2) [ 232
A course covering theory and practice in the measurement of electrical and
magnetic quantities. Ccrtain phases of modern physics are discussed and dealt
with in the laburatury. The renrilive galvanometer is studied in detail. Attention
is given to various types of bridges. Measurements are made of such
quantities as the charge on the electron, the ratio of charge to mass, and other
quantities related to modem physics. Electrical discharge through gases and
attendant phenomena are also studied. One lecture and three laboratory hours
per week. Prerequisite: Physics 4214 or 4216.
2344 Advanced Laboratory Practice in Electricity ($2)
A continuation of Physics 2343. Prerequisite: Physics 4214 or 4216.
