Overview

This Physics 102 - Magnetic Fields and Faraday's Law third course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University help learners 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 third course covers Magnetic Fields and Faraday's Law of Induction. 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.
