Monday's lab & lecture

Monday, we will continue our discussion of electric potential. Now that we know the generalities, we can get down to business and figure out how electric potential will let us solve problems more easily, just as potential energy did in mechanics. As a bonus, we can derive a method to analyze electric circuits in a very general way. As disjointed as things may seem so far, it will all come together shortly, and your patience will be rewarded.

The lab for Monday will consist of a few simple circuits and measurements to show you how to apply electric potential concepts, and make a little sense of the projects you've done so far. If you have time before class, have a look at the procedure.

Also, Monday I will give you back graded HW2 and your exam 1 scores. None of you has anything to worry about, unless you've been skipping the HW you have an A or a B so far.
