4/2
4/2 7
  • Do problems 2, 4, and 6 on the Electric Force Practice sheet.
  • Test Corrections were supposed to be due Friday, April 4.  Since I did not put it on the assignment calendar, I am ok if people turn it in after we get back by Friday, April 18.  I'd encourage you, however, to finish it sooner rather than later.  Please note that your midterm grades included 100% on the test corrections so it is important that you do well.
4/4
4/16 8
  • Go home and investigate a flashlight.  (You need to find one that you can open up and look at the bulb inside).  Draw a detailed picture of the insides of the flashlight (how many batteries, what type of batteries, can you follow any of the connections, etc.).  Find the voltage supplied by each battery.  Take the lightbulb out, draw a detailed picture of the bulb and write down any numbers that are on the bulb.  How might the flashlight work?

  • An electric toaster draws a current of 9.0 A when a potential difference of 120 V is applied.  a)  What is the restistance of the wire that makes up the heating element of the toaster?  b)  How many coulombs of charge would pass a particular point in 15 seconds?  c)  How much electric potential energy would be used during the 15 seconds?  d)  Find the power rating of the toaster. (ahhh!  power has returned!).  e)  Would the power rating of the toaster change if it ran for 30 seconds instead of 15 seconds?  Explain.

COLLECTING HOMEWORK on Monday:  Please organize your homework from this quarter, the top page should be assignment #1, the bottom page should be assignment #18.  Please make sure each assignment is numbered correctly so I don’t have to search through your papers for all the assignments.  I will be checking to see that you made an attempt at the problems, but will not be checking for perfect solutions on every single problem.  I do want to see that you have been correcting problems that are put up on the board during class. 

FINAL EXAM:  The final exam is on Monday, June 9, at 9 AM.  You will be allowed a calculator and writing utensils.  No cell phones.  This is the equation sheet that will appear on the exam.

To study for the exam, I would gather your previous tests and quizzes.  Use them as a study guide.  Try answering the questions without looking at the answers.  Also, below are several problem that might help you review topics.  These problems are not necessarily "what's on final" nor are they the same difficulty as the final.

You can also find a document listing all the sections of the book we have covered here.
