Announcements:
- 20 January, 2018: Confusion due to new edition of the Kleppner and Kolenkow book.
- 1 February, 2018: I run out of time in lecture and could not finish the Compton scattering calculation
and cover the Doppler effect. The Compton scattering lecture notes are linked below. Please read chapter 12.10 in Kleppner and Kolenkow which covers the Doppler effect.
- 6 February, 2018: Information about the midterm.
- 8 February, 2018: Posted clarifying notes under Additional Material about electric fields and forces.
- 19 February, 2018: The midterm has now been graded. Further information here.
- 20 February, 2018: Office hour change this week.
- 21 February, 2018: Midterm Problem 1
regrade.
- 23 February, 2018: Clarification from Feb. 22 lecture.
- 13 March, 2018: Information about the final.
- 15 March, 2018: Review session for the final on Sunday at 7:30 pm in LSB 1001.

Course
Description:
Special relativity, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction and
inductance, AC circuits, Maxwell's equations, EM waves.
Note: I moved relativity from Physics 25 to Physics 24 because
relativity is needed for the treatment of magnetic fields in the book
by Purcell.
Textbooks:
An Introduction to
Mechanics, Kleppner and
Kolenkow (For relativity, same as Phys 20,21).
Electricity
and Magnetism, Purcell (For
magnetism, same as Phys 23).
Additional
Material
Homework:
Will be usually assigned at the end of the week and will be due the
Friday of
the following week. It will need to be turned in a mailbox labelled "Phys 24" and with the TA name on it just beside the PSR.
Homework assignments and solutions will be posted on this web page.
Late homework will not be accepted. If you cannot complete a
homework assignment for a good reason (eg: illness), that assignment
will not count towards your grade.

Exams:
There will be one midterm and one final.
The midterm will be on
Tuesday,
February 13
during normal class time.
The final will be
Tuesday, March 20,
4-7 pm.
The final grade for this class will be calculated from a curve based on
your scores on the Homework (15%), Midterm (35%), Final (50%).
If you miss the midterm for a good reason (eg: illness), your letter
grade will be calculated based on the homework and final only.
If you miss the final you will be given an Incomplete. You
will take the Physics 24 final the next time that the class is being
offerred.
