Exam 3

The coverage for exam 3 on Friday will be:

  • magnetic fields (2 problems; Ch. 28.2-4, 6, 8-10; 29.2-6)
    • motion of charges in magnetic fields
    • fields due to current-carrying wires (Ampere, Biot-Savart)
  • induction (2 problems; Ch. 30.2-8)
    • motionally-induced voltage
    • Faraday's law 
  • ac circuits (1 problem; Ch. 31.2-9)
    • filters
    • impedance

Nothing on op-amps/transistors/comparators, Maxwell's equations, EM waves, or relativity for this exam, though some of that may show up on the final. Similar to the homework problems, but less involved. Out of the 5 problems, you will have to choose 3 to solve, so the odds are not bad. You'll have 50 minutes for the exam. I'll provide a basic formula sheet with everything you really need, and you can bring in one sheet of your own.

I'll try to provide some more details on Wednesday in class, but feel free to remind me or ask some questions. I will really try not to make it too difficult ...
