PHYSICS 122DL
General Physics II - Electricity and Magnetism
Jonathan R. Bennett, Ying Wu, Ken Alan McKenzie
Description from DukeHub
Second semester of a two-semester introductory physics course suitable for students in the life sciences. Core physics topics: electric fields, circuits, magnetic fields, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves, and geometric optics and optical instruments. The course emphasizes fundamental physics concepts, laws, and their synthesis. Quantitative reasoning is developed through mathematical models and data analysis. Relevant mathematics skills are taught and practiced using dedicated modules. Physics 122 includes lecture, lab, and discussion components. Not open to students having credit for Physics 152L, 153L, 162D, or equivalent. Prerequisite: Physics 25, 121L, 151L, 161D, or equivalent.
Skills
- data and statisticsdescription: "quantitative" and 2 more
- lab workhas a lab component
AI-resilient: 2 of 5
- Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "lab"
- No: Live work with people
- Yes: Judgment someone is accountable for · "laws"
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
