Exam on Friday

A few stray hints for the exam on Friday.
  • It is only an hour exam, so there will be four problems. You solve any two of them. Heavy partial credit is possible.
  • There will be a formula sheet with all the basics. You are additionally allowed to bring in one sheet of standard 8.5x11 inch paper with whatever you like on it.
  • Your formula sheet will contain fundamental constants and integrals you will need.
  • Understand the derivation of the (approximate) dipole potential ...
  • Reading through my old PH106 homework solutions might be helpful, just for some examples of worked problems. HW 1-4 are relevant, mostly.
  • If need be, the exam will be scaled ... so relax :-)
I'll be around Bevill most of the day tomorrow if you want to drop by the office with questions. If you're busy in classes tomorrow, I'll try to respond to email questions rapidly.
