Hello,
How relatable is electrical engineering and physics 2 (electromagnetism)? Physics 2 is a very hated course and i for sure hated it. Electrical engineering does interest me but i really wasn’t a fan of electromagnetism. I didn’t like electric and magnetic fields. Circuits weren’t too bad, but is that a class i can bass electrical engineering off of?
Thank You!
Believe it or not, you don’t see E&M physics much again. At least not the stuff you use in physics 2.
KVLs and KCLs are going to show up left and right, and you’re going to use those without even realizing you’re using them. But a lot of that Biot-Savert, Gauss’s Law type stuff, that doesn’t show up again for the rest of the degree plan. Even the upper-level electromagnetism classes, IME, don’t use the intro physics type stuff. They’re much more focused on properties of waves.
The workload, and the kind of abstract, non-tangible nature of some of those E&M Physics problems, is going to be the norm for most EE classes though. So no, you won’t be using the physics 2 material again, but you’ll be doing problems that are kind of reminiscent of it. If you’re fine making it through circuits, I’m willing to bet that you’ll be fine with the rest of the degree plan.
