I've updated the sample exam 3 to include an RLC problem, for practice. The exam is labelled "version 2".

I finally got Homework 5 deployed and it is showing up in Blackboard. I've changed the due date to Sunday evening, and no there won't be a second assignment due this week.

Here is a review outline for the first exam, which is on Wednesday September 24th. Here is also a sample exam with solutions.

Here is a brief video of a three-dimensional dipole field.

We will have a "test-run" quiz on Tuesday so you can see what it looks like, but which will not be for a grade.

For future reference, make sure you include your first and last names on all assignments. There are so many duplicate first names!

Homework will be posted on the class Blackboard site; you should visit the McGraw-Hill Connect server via Blackboard instead of directly. Also, alas, they won't let me grade via completion. :(

Exam 4 (Monday, December 8)

You can take the final exam either Friday, December 5th 10-12, or Monday, December 8th 10:15-12:15. Please fill in the survey indicating your preferences.

Review Outline
Sample Exam Questions and solutions. This includes a second half of problems from previous exams.

Exam 3 (Wednesday, November 19)

Review Outline. Be sure you know what the equations mean, what the variables mean, when the equation is appropriate, etc. Put it on your notesheet!
Sample Exam Questions and solutions. This is much sparser than previous samples and does not include anything about RC and RLC currents. If I dig out anything more I'll add it. Focus on the results rather than the derivations: the review of AC circuits that I did early in Week 12 should give you everything you need.
Some additional magnetism problems and solutions from previous years' homework sets. Pardon their untidiness!

Exams and Solutions

Version A with solutions (may be added to later)
Version B with solutions (may be added to later)
