Sounds about the right level to me. We do discuss the link between
forces
and potentials in electric and gravity fields. I haven't previously
introduced the potential of a magnetic field specifically, b/c we
usually
cover magnetic fields in passing and electromagnetism at the end of the
semester when time gets more desperate. Seems obvious now, perhaps I
should introduce this in Gen Phys.
The reason I struggle with this material is because all of my E&M has
been
very problem-oriented with the tough math stressed. I've never taken a
course where we worked on the concepts in E&M quite the same way we
work
on concepts in Gen Phys.
I would like to give students a chance to develop these concepts. Is
Gen
Phys the right place?
