HW 3 is out

UPDATE: some typos in the homework have been corrected. We'll go over quite a few of these on Wednesday. I'll be in Bevill most of tomorrow afternoon if you want some help, send me an email as a heads-up.

Here you go. The descriptions are much longer than usual, but at least a few of the problems are quite short once you see how to do them. The extra length is mainly additional hints on how to approach the problems.

The Wednesday problems are all things we covered already, if you remember that an equipotential surface is just a surface on which the electric potential is constant.

By the way, most of these are from the Purcell book, which you can find in the library. There are no solutions in the book, but it is a good read, and might give you some extra insight into these problems. Some hints to follow.
