PHYS 1410 6.0 Physical Science (Section A, daytime)

Assignments 19 and 20 are meant to prepare for the final exam. They will not count for credit, i.e., they are optional. A19 covers introductory material for Waves, and A20 has some quantitative questions for Waves, and some review questions for Electric Field, and Charged Particles in Magnetic Fields. No problems have been put in for Magnetic Induction, since you have prepared that material recently for Class Test 6.

When reviewing the MP grades I noticed that a sizeable fraction of students have not worked on their own on Self-Tutoring and Skill-Builder questions, but have just hacked in answers obtained from other students. This resulted in near-100 percent MP scores, which stood in marked contrast with their test performance (often around 50 percent). In these cases the MP grade will be calculated as the higher of {50 % (hacking effort), class test average (after the student's lowest mark per term was dropped)}. These students managed to cheat themselves. Learning in a group is one thing, but simply keying in other people's answers is not a good way to proceed through university.

Office hours for final exam preparation: I will be on campus and available for 1410A students on Tuesday (April 8) 1-3 pm, and on Thursday (April 10), 3-5 pm.

Reading Assignment

Previous reading assignments cover (almost) EVERYTHING from Chapters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 11, 14. In Chapter 10 the Calculus-based derivations are optional. Chapter 25 (everything except Conduction Model, pp 887-889), 26.1-26.6; 28.1-28.5; 30.5, 30.6; 31.3, 31.6, 31.7, 31.10(!). 32.1-3; 13.9; 32.5, 32.7, 32.8 (w/o Hall),32.9; 33.1, 33.2 (without Eddy, but with Energy cf. Notes VI.12), 33.3, 33.4, 33.5, 33.8 (without eqs. 33.26 and 33.27), 33.9, 33.10. 20.1, 20.2, 20.3[first half], 20.7,

FINAL EXAMINATION The exam (on Monday April 14, 2-4 pm in CSE A) will cover the winter term for the most part. Continue with your studies of magnetism. The amount of mechanics on the exam will be an absolute minimum. I will provide two review lectures at the end of term (after class test 6) to help prepare for the exam, and I will provide a template for the formula sheet required for it. The level of questions will be somewhat comparable to class tests 4,5,6 with one challenge question (out of a total of 6 questions) to set apart the A+ students. At the time of the review lectures I will also set up a 'not-for-credit' MP assignment where you can try your strengths, but also look up some answers (as there will be no penalty).

These are not for hand-in. Working on them before the tutorial will help you a lot, you'll get more out of the tutorial. Later they will become a little harder than the MP problems.
