Review Questions

Why wait? If you're anxious to get started solving questions that will likely appear in a similar form on the exam, take a look at what I just posted.

Mark will discuss some of these tomorrow.

Don't worry about the ones I crossed out.

PA Session on Monday

One student asked about a PA session on Monday. Just to confirm, there will be no PA session on Monday. However, I will have extended hours early next week. I will post the hours on Sunday, once my schedule for next week stabilizes a bit more.

Last Lecture

Due to a family issue, I have asked Mark to give the last lecture (linear motors) and also to give you a summary of the likely questions to appear on the exam. I will also post sample questions here over the weekend if you check back.

Make-up Labs

Some people missed certain labs through no fault of their own, so I'd like to give those people an opportunity to perform the labs. We will do so next week during the "PA sessions". Please send me an email if you need to do a lab, so I can straighten out which TAs are required. Let me know which day you normally attend labs, and which lab you need to perform.

Midterm Solutions

I posted the solutions to the midterm questions. Please review your marks, and if there is any problem see me tonight between 6pm and 7pm in 7044MC, or before or after class, or send me an email describing the problem.

The Last Lab

Your last lab is another computer-based experiment. This time it's all about magnetostatics (compared to the first lab which was about electrostatics). In this lab, you'll be looking at magnetic fields due to a ring of current, and due to a solenoid. Enjoy!

Blogger Test

Hi All,

Just testing this new Greasemonkey LaTeX extension for Blogger. It enables me to write an equation in LaTeX, for example, "\vec{E}=k\frac{q}{r^2}\hat{r}" and get the output formatted like so:

.

Not too shabby!
