Electrophysics I

At the end of this course, the students are expected to: 1. display the basic knowledge of Elementary Kinematics and vector algebra, Newton’s laws of motion and Elasticity and strength of materials; 2. be familiar with and the applications of Momentum conservation; application to contusion and fracture during impacts, and to similar medical situations; conservation of energy; the first law of thermodynamics; applications to metabolism and work done by various organs of the body; 3. discuss the principle of Angular momentum and torque and the Harmonic motion and diffusion; 4. explain the applications to osmotic pressure and passage of substances through capillary walls; and 5. describe the principle of Equilibrium in external fields; the centrifuge and measurement of molecular weight.
