Overview

Upon completion of this Physics 102 - Electric Charges and Fields first course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University, learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe fields and how these fields are related to electrical circuits.

Learners will gain experience in solving physics problems with tools such as graphical analysis, algebra, vector analysis, and calculus.

This first course covers Charge, Electric Forces, and Electric Fields. Each of the three modules contains reading links to a free textbook, complete video lectures, conceptual quizzes, and a set of homework problems. Once the modules are completed, the course ends with an exam.

This comprehensive course is similar in detail and rigor to those taught on-campus at Rice. It will thoroughly prepare learners for their upcoming introductory physics courses or more advanced courses in physics.
