Topics to be covered include electrostatics, electric potentials, electric fields, magnetostatics,magnetic fields, and electrodynamics through Maxwell’s equations.COURSE MATERIALSTextbook: Introduction to Electrodynamics, David J. Griffiths (4th Edition)Supplemental Texts: Div, Grad, Curl, and All That: An informal Text in Vector Calculus, H. M. ScheyEXPECTATIONSThis is a challenging course. Given the complexity of the ideas and concepts in this course as well as therequired mathematical background, you will have to put in a substantial amount of effort. You cannot relyon your time in class and the associated lectures alone to master the topics presented. You will have tospend a great deal of time outside class reading the material covered in the text, studying the examplesprovided, and working on the problem sets. If you have not done this up to now in your other classesplease be forewarned. Don’t hesitate to ask me or other professors for help in the material that you havetrouble understanding.COURSE COMPONENTSPre-class Reading: You must read before coming to the class. Since, we have limited lecture time, wemust focus on the more challenging concepts in the course. Thus, it is critical that you come to lectureknowing the basic elements which we will build on in lecture that day.Lecture: I attempt to make the lecture as informal as possible. I encourage questions during the lecture.Problem Sets: There will be one problem set almost every week. Generally, they will be given out onMondays and due the following week’s Wednesday in class. A large fraction of the learning in this coursetakes place working on these homework problems, so it is essential that you put a substantial effort intothese assignments. Late work cannot be accepted except by prior arrangement with the instructor.Working to deadlines is an aspect of personal responsibility and, as such, it is an important skill to develop.All problem sets will be graded (to varying degrees) and returned the following week (typically duringMonday class time). If you fail to turn in a problem set because of absences (excused or unexcused) thenyou will receive a zero for the problem set grade. The problem sets will be graded only roughly. It isyour responsibility to check your work with the solution set.1
EVALUATIONThe final grade for this course will be based on the following: Problem Sets .20% Exams (3 @ 20% each) 60% Final exam . 20%Letter grades will be assigned on the following scale. However, I reserve the right to adjust the weightsof individual components, or the scale to account for unforeseen circumstances.93 – 100 %90 – 92 %87 – 89 %83 – 86 %80 – 82 %77 – 79 %73 – 76 %70 – 72 %67 – 69 %63 – 66 %60 – 62%59% or lowerAA B BB C CC D DD FGRADING COMPONENTS AND POLICIESProblem Sets: You are encouraged to work together/collaborate on problem sets, but the work that youhand in must be your own and must reflect your own understanding of the material. The best balancebetween working alone and working with other people is to (i) Give each problem a good try on your ownfirst. If you get stuck, reread the relevant section of the text and review your notes and try it again. If you'restill stuck, then (ii) work with other students and then (iii) complete the problem alone where you can collectyour thoughts in peace. Make sure that you understand the solution to each problem that you turn in. If step(ii) does not help, you can always get hints from me during my office hours. Please do not ask for help/hintsvia. e-mail. Please indicate the names of people you have collaborated with for a problem set.Do not refer to previous years' solutions as several problems were used previously.Here's a handy rule of thumb: if you can do the problem without referring to any notes, then youunderstand the concept and the problem-solving approach. Try a similar problem and prove it to yourself.Regular Exams: There are a total of three exams that will be given in the semester. No grades will bedropped and there are no-make up exams. The exceptions, however, are limited to the absences relatedto University Sanctioned Events (see below). If you miss an exam for a University Sanctioned Event youmust notify me in advance so that we can arrange for you to take the exam in a manner consistent with itsintegrity. You must also provide some form of documentation (performing arts program, competitionschedule etc.). If you miss the exam for any other reason the same rules apply, and it must be a very goodreason (sickness, death, and dismemberment qualify).Final Exam: The final exam is a cumulative exam and is MANDATORY.CONTACT POLICYPlease include PHY430 in the subject line of any e-mail. I try to respond to e-mail within 24hrs. AlthoughI will try to answer all questions directed to me by e-mail, most problems related to course content are bestdiscussed during office hours.ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & CONDUCTI have a zero-tolerance policy for breaches of academic integrity. Breaches of academic integrity will beinvestigated, and sanctions imposed to the full extent available under University policy. It is theresponsibility of each student to adhere to the university’s standards for academic integrity. Violations ofacademic integrity include any act that violates the rights of another student in academic work, that involves2
misrepresentation of your own work, or that disrupts the instruction of the course. Other violations include(but are not limited to): cheating on assignments or examinations; plagiarizing, which means copying anypart of another’s work and/or using ideas of another and presenting them as one’s own without giving propercredit to the source; selling, purchasing, or exchanging of term papers; falsifying of information; and usingyour own work from one class to fulfill the assignment for another class without significant modification.Proof of academic misconduct can result in the automatic failure and removal from this course. Forquestions regarding Academic Integrity, the No-Grade Policy, Sexual Harassment, or the Student Code ofConduct, students are encouraged to refer to the Department Undergraduate Handbook, the UndergraduateCatalog, the Ram’s Eye View, and the University website at www.wcupa.edu.ATTENDANCE POLICYA regular attendance to the lectures is an important part of this course and I highly recommend it. This isyour chance to ask questions, see examples and get help in solving problems. I am here to guide you throughthe material. Attendance will benefit your understanding and therefore grade. However, I do not give anattendance grade. Students must understand that they are responsible for all material covered and assignedduring their absences (excused and unexcused) and that they are responsible for the academic consequencesof their absences.EXECUSED ABSENCES POLICYStudents are advised to carefully read and comply with the excused absences policy, including absences foruniversity-sanctioned events, contained in the WCU Undergraduate Catalog. In particular, please note thatthe “responsibility for meeting academic requirements rests with the student,” that this policy does notexcuse students from completing required academic work, and that professors can require a “fairalternative” to attendance on those days that students must be absent from class in order to participate in aUniversity-Sanctioned Event.STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIESIf you have a disability that requires accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),please present your letter of accommodations and meet with me as soon as possible so that I can supportyour success in an informed manner. Accommodations cannot be granted retroactively. If you would liketo know more about West Chester University’s Services for Students with Disabilities (OSSD), please visitthem at 223 Lawrence Center. Their phone number is 610-436-2564, their fax number is 610-436-2600,their email address is ossd@wcupa.edu, and their website is at www.wcupa.edu/ussss/ossd. In an effort toassist students who either receive or may believe they are entitled to receive accommodations under theAmericans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the University hasappointed a student advocate to be a contact for students who have questions regarding the provision oftheir accommodations or their right to accommodations. The advocate will assist any student who may havequestions regarding these rights. The Director for Equity and Compliance/Title IX Coordinator has beendesignated in this role. Students who need assistance with their rights to accommodations should contactthem at 610-436-2433.3

Official university communications, including those from your instructor, will be sentthrough your university e-mail account. You are responsible for accessing that mail to be sure to obtainofficial University communications. Failure to access will not exempt individuals from the responsibilitiesassociated with this course.REPORTING INCIDENTS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCEWest Chester University and its faculty are committed to assuring a safe and productive educationalenvironment for all students. In order to meet this commitment and to comply with Title IX of the EducationAmendments of 1972 and guidance from the Office for Civil Rights, the University requires facultymembers to report incidents of sexual violence shared by students to the University's Title IX Coordinator.The only exceptions to the faculty member's reporting obligation are when incidents of sexual violence arecommunicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in a writing assignment for a class, or as part ofa University-approved research project. Faculty members are obligated to report sexual violence or anyother abuse of a student who was, or is, a child (a person under 18 years of age) when the abuseallegedly occurred to the person designated in the University protection of minors policy. Informationregarding the reporting of sexual violence and the resources that are available to victims of sexual violenceis set forth at the webpage for the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusionat https://www.wcupa.edu/ NCY PREPAREDNESSAll students are encouraged to sign up for the University’s free WCU ALERT service, which deliversofficial WCU emergency text messages directly to your cell phone.
