PHYS 212H: General Physics: Electricity and Magnetism

This guide is for Penn State Harrisburg students enrolled in PHYS 212H.

Formatting Your Report

While the format of your report is not as important as the content, here are some best practices to follow:

  • Font size of 11 or 12 is acceptable
  • Most applications will default to 1" margins and is acceptable
  • Spacing is not a top concern, though if possible stick to either 1.15 or double spacing
  • Your lab report is expected to be 2-3 pages of text to cover everything sufficiently; 4+ pages of text is fine, though unnecessary (unless your report is double-spaced)
