PHYS 1202 Physics for Scientists and Engineers II 4.0 Credits

Part II of a two-semester calculus-based physics sequence introducing electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic radiation, and elementary quantum mechanics to engineering and science majors. Topics include electrostatics, Coulomb's law, electric fields, Gauss's law, electric potential and potential energy, voltage, capacitance, charges in motion, resistance, circuit analysis using Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s rules, sources of magnetic fields, magnetic flux and electromagnetic induction, inductance, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves, interference and diffraction, de Broglie's wave-particle duality hypothesis, Compton scattering, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger's equation in one-dimension.

Prerequisites: PHYS 1201 [Min Grade: D]

Minor in Biophysics

https://catalog.drexel.edu/undergraduate/arts-sciences/minor-biophysics/
Biophysics is the study of the complexity of life using tools provided by physics. It attempts to construct mathematical frameworks that explain, among many other topics, how organisms obtain energy from the environment, how complex structures appear in the cell, and how these relate to function. In essence, biophysics looks for principles that describe observed patterns and propose predictions based on these principles. This minor will equip students with the understanding, ability, and skills to deconstruct complex biophysical phenomena into its constituent parts and to make and use simple theoretical, phenomenological, and computational models that explain and predict behavior in biophysical systems. This minor would easily complement any other discipline from biology, chemistry, engineering to other sciences.
