Wednesday, we'll mostly be talking about sections 2.5.1-2.5.3 in Griffiths (conductors), which is really just applying what we have learned already to a specific situation involving mobile charges. Hopefully this will not take a huge amount of time, and we can spend some time setting up the homework problems for this week.
Friday, we'll begin with capacitance and discuss the method of images briefly. Before then, have a look through sections 2.5.4 and 3.2.1-3.2.4.
Next week, it is on to chapter 4 for the most part - except for a bit on image charges (Friday) and dipole moments (this week's homework), we will skip the bulk of chapter 3. If you want to get a head-start, for Monday it would be good to read sections 4.1.1-4.1.4. These will make more sense after you finish the last of this week's homework problems on dipoles ...
