Outline and Purpose of the Course The objective of this course is to introduce fundamental concepts of physics relating with electricity and magnetism.
Course Goals . To understand the basic concepts of electricity and magnetism
. To be able to relate and appreciate the role of these concepts in many natural phenomenon
. To learn about the working of inventions (such as motors, generators, etc.) based on applications of these concepts.

Course Requirements This course is intended mainly for students who studied physics at high school.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Students are advised to go through the class handouts and the readings suggested in the class for each topic. Homework is assigned to strengthen the learning of the topic covered in the class, therefore, it is advised to the students to do homework regularly and carefully.
