CO-REQUISITE: MAT-281Calculus II
COURSE CREDITS: 4
COURSE HOURS: 3 lecture hours; 3 laboratory hours
COURSE CLASSIFICATION: General Education Course
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Physics II is the continuation of PHY-280, Physics I, and is primarily a study of electricity
and magnetism. It covers electrostatics, electrical circuits, magnetic fields and forces, capacitance and inductance,
Maxwell's equations, and the properties of fluids.

STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES: As a result of meeting the requirements of this course, students will be able to:
1. Identify and describe in his or her own words the concepts and meaning behind the physical principles and
laws encountered in the course.
2. Use correct terminology to describe physical processes and carry out problem solving.
3. Create sketches, diagrams, and graphs to describe physical processes and problem solving.
4. Apply appropriate mathematical relationships in the description of physical processes and problem
solving.
5. Demonstrate proper use of laboratory instrumentation to perform measurements and data acquisition
during laboratory sessions.
These objectives are intimately interwoven throughout the physics sequence and serve as a repeated
reinforcement of the knowledge and skills necessary for the student to become successful in the engineering or
scientific program of his or her choice. This course serves as foundations for further study in engineering, physics,
astronomy, and many other areas, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and the health professions.
CHEATING/PLAGIARISM:
Physics II follows a Zero Tolerance Policy towards Cheating/Plagiarism. The definition and consequences of
Cheating/Plagiarism are described in the Bergen Community College Catalog under Academic Regulations.
ASSESSMENT MEASURES: The student learning objectives will be assessed by:
1. Test scores.
2. Laboratory experiments and written laboratory reports.
3. Essay questions on laboratory reports (and possibly exams) will be used to assess the students' knowledge of
physical principles and understanding of problem solving techniques.
4. Word problems on exams and laboratory reports that will require:
a. The construction and reading of graphs.
b. The use of precise sketches and diagrams, correct application of physical principles, and the correct use of
computational skills.
c. Derivations of formulas requiring algebraic, trigonometric, and calculus-based manipulations.
GENERAL GRADING POLICY: The grade for the course is weighted:
1. Four or more non-cumulative (modular) "hourly" exams and possibly quizzes 45%
2. Laboratory (performance and written reports) 25%
(Attendance required in at least 70% of the experiments that the class performs. At least 70% of the experiments
must be performed and handed in to pass the course no matter how high the test scores.)
3. Final exam (cumulative) 30%
INSTRUCTOR'S GRADING POLICY:
An instructor may modify the General Grading Policy, and the instructor will provide that policy.
CLASS ATTENDANCE/LATENESS POLICIES:
Class Attendance is defined in the Bergen Community College Catalog under Class Attendance:
"All students are expected to attend punctually every scheduled meeting of each course in which they are
registered. Attendance and lateness policies and sanctions are to be determined by the instructor for each section
of each course. These will be established in writing on the individual course outline. Attendance will be kept by the
instructor for administrative and counseling purposes."
ABSENCE OF INSTRUCTOR:
Instructor Absence is defined in the Bergen Community College Catalog under Absence of Instructor which reads, in
part: "Students are expected to wait twenty minutes for a faculty member to come to class." A daily listing of
cancelled classes will be listed at the BCC home page under Class Cancellations located at the bottom of the home
page (www.bergen.edu). A daily list of cancelled classes may also be posted in the main building and in Ender Hall.
Students should consult these cases before going to class. If students find a class cancelled which has not been
listed, they should report this to the STEM Division Dean's office.

SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Bergen Community College aims to create inclusive learning environments where all students have maximum
opportunities for success. Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a
disability should contact the Office of Specialized Services at 201-612-5269 or via email at ossinfo@bergen.edu for
assistance.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES:
The use of portable electronic devices such as cell phones, voice and/or video recorders, is not permitted while
class (Lecture and Laboratory) is in session. Please TURN OFF these devices before entering class. Cell phone
calculators are not permitted.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES:
1. Several #2 (soft) pencils and a notebook.
2. A pocket-sized scientific calculator (solar cell recommended to avoid battery failure at crucial times). The
functions must include direct and inverse trigonometric functions, natural logarithm, and exponents. A
linear regression routine would be very helpful.
