Engineering Physics syllabus for b tech physics 1st-year course that covers superconductivity, magnetic materials, quantum physics, and related chapters covers. BTech Engineering Physics course depends on the curriculum, so some universities allow two-semester course (Engineering Physics 1 and 2) while some keep it for one semester. Engineering Physics Syllabus Chapters that are listed in this online course are given below, some parts of this course are available separately in other courses. Electrodynamics: Vector and scalar fields Gradient, divergence, curl and their physical interpretation Gauss’s theorem and Stoke’s theorem (Statement only), Equation of continuity, Green’s theorem Maxwell’s equations (differential and integral form), Maxwell’s equations in free space, Propagation of electromagnetic waves in free space and its applications in daily life Laser: Introduction, Laser characteristics such as coherence, monochromaticity, collimated and angular divergence, laser action, stimulated absorption, spontaneous emission, stimulated emission, Population inversion, and pumping.
