Course Goals
A. Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
1. To add vectors geometrically, find their components along with scalar and vector products.
2. Apply vector analysis to find position, displacement, velocity, acceleration in 1, 2 & 3
dimensions in numerical problems or Python simulation code/programming.
3. Learn projectile motion with the application of vector analysis to calculate horizontal/vertical
motions, equation of the path and horizontal range in numerical problems or Python
simulation code/programming.
4. Apply Newton’s Laws along with vector notations to evaluate different types of forces:
gravitational/weight/normal/tension/friction in numerical problems or Python simulation
code/programming.
5. Verify SHM in learning different oscillations (simple, angular, damped, uniform circular
motion) for different pendulums/oscillators (torsional, simple, damped).
6. Lean Different Types of Waves, Sinusoidal Waves, Wavelength and Frequency
7. To understand electric charge, electric current, resistance and electric field with different
applications through associated laws (i.e., Ohm’s Law, Coulomb’s law & Gauss’ Law) and
implement them to calculate related physical quantities in numerical problems or Python
simulation code/programming.
8. To understand different types & combinations of capacitances and calculate capacitances
along with the other associated physical quantities in numerical problems.
9. To understand magnetic fields & magnetic forces, their application as Hall’s effect and in
circulating charges to calculate related physical quantities in numerical problems or Python
simulation codes.
10. To understand magnetic fields generated due to currents by Ampere’s law to calculate
magnetic fields due to different conditions and geometries (e.g. Solenoids and Toroids) and
calculate related physical quantities in numerical problems or Python simulation codes.
