Physics II

Electricity: curvilinear coordinates – conservative vector fields and their potential functions –Gauss’ theorem, Stokes’ theorem – physical applications in electrostatics – electrostatic po-tential and field due to discrete and continuous charge distributions – dipole and quadrupole moments – energy density in an electric field – dielectric polarization – conductors and capaci-tors – electric displacement vector – dielectric susceptibility.

Physics I

Introduction to vectors: linear independence – completeness – basis – dimensionality – inner product – orthogonality – displacement – derivatives of a vector – velocity – acceleration – plane polar coordinates.

Angular momentum: angular momentum and torque on a single particle – angular momentum and torque on a system of particles – moment of inertia – angular momentum of a rigid body

Calculus

Sequence and Series of Real Numbers: sequence – convergence – limit of sequence – non-decreasing sequence theorem – sandwich theorem (applications) – L'Hopital's rule – infinite series – convergence – geometric series – tests of convergence (nth term test, integral test, comparison test, ratio and root test) – alternating series and conditional convergence – power series.
