Midterm Sample Problems

Folks,

I'm planning the midterm, and so far, this is how it is breaking down:

- one question about Coulomb's Law or Electrostatic Fields due to point charges;
- one question concerning Gauss's Law;
- one question concerning calculation of resistance or capacitance;
- one question concerning the method of images;
- one question concerning voltage potential;
- one question concerning boundary conditions.

So there will be six questions.

Generally to answer the questions you will also need to know other areas of the course. For example, there could be dielectric materials mentioned in any of the above problems, so you should understand the ramifications of dielectrics.

Here are a couple of sample problems that we will discuss tomorrow.
