|
| Feb. 29 | Reading: Chapter 29 | Mar. 3
|
| Mar. 7 | Reading: Chapter 30 | Mar. 10
|
| Mar. 12 | Prob: This is assignment is more interesting and
challenging assignment than some of the recent ones. From Chapter 29: 33, 37, 39, 45,
54, and 56; from Chapter 30: 1, 11, 14, 26,
34, 43 and 68 | Mar. 2
|
| Mar. 12 | Reading: Chapter 31 | Mar. 26
|
| Mar. 28 | Reading: Chapter 32.1-3 and 31.5. The rest
of the chapter is very interesting, but we do not have time to
cover it. I would be happy to discuss the material on a
one-on-one basis if you wish to make the time. | Mar. 31
|
| Mar. 31 | Prob: From Chapter 31: 1, 6, 19, 36, 40, 45,
73, and 77. From Chapter 32: 3,8,36, and the following question:
| Apr. 4
|
|
A resistor
with resistance R, an inductor with inductance L, and a battery
with voltage V are placed in series with each other. Starting from
equation 32.2 derive the potential difference across the inductor
as a function of time with t=0 at the moment the circuit is
completed. The derivation of the a
potential difference across a capacitor when it is in series
with a resistor and battery may be helpful. Copying the derivation
from section 32.4 is not an acceptable solution to this problem.

|
| Apr. 4 | Reading: Chapter 17 | Apr. 7
|
| Apr. 10 | Prob: From Chapter 16: 5(an example
of which can be seen at The Mattress Factory in Pittsuburgh), 14, 33, 44--for extra credit, 48, and 53.
From Chapter 17: 3, 7, 14, 33, 41, and 66.

|
| Apr. 20 | Prob:
From Chapter 18: 7, 8, 11, 17, 22, 39, and 44. | Apr. 23
|
| Apr. 10 | Reading: Chapter 34 | Apr. 16
|
| Apr. 20 | Problem set for Electromagentic Radiation:
Question 1: Electromagnetic radiation can be created from
an accelerating charge. Figure 34-2 shows the electric field that results
from a sudden acceleration of a proton. Using the fundamental laws of electricity
and magnetism construct a qualitative argument as to why an electromagnetic
wave will propagate in this situation. Question 2: How do the direction of the
E-field, B-field, and direction of propagation relate to each other?
Question 3: What exactly is it that oscillates in an electromagnetic wave?
Also from Chapter 34: 3, 8, 12, 17, and 51.
