McGill PHYS 102 tutoring

Introductory Physics — Electromagnetism — one-to-one online tutoring to understand difficult concepts, practise problems and prepare for midterms and finals.

Listed course

Course overview

McGill PHYS 102 introduces electricity and magnetism, circuits, electromagnetic waves, and geometrical optics without calculus. Diagrams and consistent sign conventions are central to the problem-solving approach.

PHYS 102 topics we can help with

Electric fields and potentialDC circuitsCapacitanceMagnetic fieldsElectromagnetic induction and wavesGeometrical optics

Common difficulties

  • Keeping charge, current, voltage and energy distinct
  • Recognizing circuit connections despite a changed drawing

What this course builds on

Review mechanics-style reasoning, scientific notation and rearranging formulas. Attach a physical meaning and unit to every symbol.

Registration requirements

The guidance above is study preparation, not an eligibility decision. Confirm current prerequisites, restrictions and availability with McGill.

Quick prerequisite check

A current of 0.5 A flows for 8 s. How much charge passes?

Show the reasoning

Q = It = 4 C. An ampere is a coulomb per second.

An original Nablio exercise, not an institution’s exam question.

How tutoring can help

Redraw circuit connections and label potential differences. Predict the effect of changing a component before doing arithmetic.

Exam preparation for PHYS 102: midterms and finals

Mix field, potential and circuit questions so the quantities cannot be chosen by habit. For optics, state the sign convention and interpret image properties.

Use your section’s outline to choose the chapters to review. We work through permitted practice and comparable problems, without completing graded assignments or exams on your behalf.
