About this site

The Physics Education Research group at the University of Colorado Boulder (PER@C) has developed a number of resources for research- based instruction at the upper-division level. This website provides access to those resources developed specifically for Electricity and Magnetism 1 (E&M1)

E&M1 I is the first course in our two-semester sequence of junior-level classical electricity and magnetism. Content coverage includes electrostatics and magnetostatics (chapters 1-6 of Griffiths Introduction to Electrodynamics)

On this site, you will find a number of materials we have borrowed or developed. Feel free to use what you like - we would like to share materials, but also believe in giving credit to sources whenever possible.

We ask for your cooperation in not making any solutions you may create for the homework (and exam problems, clicker questions, etc…) available on the open web, out of respect for instructors and students at other institutions, and for maintaining the integrity of our research.

How to obtain materials

Materials on this site are organized using the menu above. You can navigate this site as you would a typical webpage to view or download course materials.
