Bring questions for the review session. I am not bringing any prepared lecture, it is your responsibility to ask questions.
This test will be given under the rules of the Honor Code. Bring a calculator,
but using equations programmed into your calculator IS NOT ALLOWED.
This test will cover chapters 12,14,22 and 23 of Halliday and Resnick and everything
I did in class concerning that material.
The test will most likely consist of three or four problems (like those on the homework)
with several parts and several conceptual multiple choice questions (similar in style to
those we did in class). There may also be a few shorter questions/problems.
You will be given 55 minutes to complete the test. Remember to do the problems you
know how to do first and do the more difficult problems later. Budget your time
wisely, if you get stuck for too long, move on.
For chapter 12, I am limiting my questions to angular momentum and conservation of angular
momentum.
Generally speaking you should feel comfortable with the following (this is not at
all an exhaustive list.....):
Chapter 14
We skipped sections 14-8 and 14-9 so there will be no material from those sections
Be able to use Newton's Law of Gravitation, Principle of Superposition, Keplers laws,
conservation of mechanical energy, be able to do circular motion problems
Chapter 22
We covered at least parts of all sections.
Know/understand the properties of electric charge.
Be able to use Coulomb's Law, understand the analogy between it and Newton's Law of
Gravitation. Shell theorem for electric force.
Chapter 23
We covered at least parts of all sections.
Understand what an electric field is and why the field concept is used.
Understand electric field lines, and how they related to the force of a charge placed in
an electric field.
Be able to calculate the electric field due to point charge distributions and continuous
charge distributions using Coulomb's law.
Understand the behavior of a charged particle in an external electric field.
Millikan Oil Drop Experiment
Be able to use Binomial theorem
How should you study?
Know how to do all of the assigned homework problems and understand all the
conceptual questions from class (those put on the overhead and those I asked you to solve
otherwise). Read the chapters and understand how to do the examples in the
text. If you have not done well on the homework you need to fully understand your
old hw to do well on the test. If you find the homework easy, you should do well on
the test.
