Classes, February 22

Periods 1-2, 8-9:

Try to reach consensus on the first NON-uniform current density problem from Friday.  After this, try the five cases on the Progression sheet you should have from last week. These will be collected tomorrow, and it ranges from point charges to Biot-Savart. If anyone needs to watch videos on any of the topics, please do so.

If you have time to spare, you can access online three magnetism simulation experiments on ActivPhysics, at http://media.pearsoncmg.com/aw/aw_activphysics/activphys.html. Go to Electricity and Magnetism, and then try 13.4, 13.7, and 13.8.  These are set up like lessons, and we just need to follow along on the right hand side of the web pages. You can write these out in HW notebooks. These will be done over the next week, and should reinforce magnetism concepts with decent visuals, which many have been asking about.


Periods 3-4:

We will start capacitors. Check out how to add capacitors in series and parallel, and then check out circuit analysis for capacitors. Take notes on these, and there are worked examples in the packet on pages 6 and 8. Try the problems on page 7, and we will pick it up tomorrow.


Many thanks everyone...
