test on all circuit topics (includes lab, building and measuring) |
why CAN'T a magnetic field increase a charged particle's speed? (the gravity field or the electric field could make a charge travel faster) what's the physics principle that tells us? |

& the practical examplses of each: where have we seen a velocity selector this week? what war did a mass spectrometer help win? |

follow the usual force diagram procedure (Walker does a similar problem on pp. 722-723, but he does not do very well at following OUR established procedure -- get out those IVORY guides! -- I'm sure you will do much better) for challenge 1 and some of the later challenges, you will need to have access to the Charged Particle software because it shows you time, tells you if your solution is correct, allows you to make measurements, etc. (you can do most of challenge 1, however, without the software, and I encourage you to do so) Charged Particles users guide tells you how/where to access the program |

do you know the reason that the light bulbs dont obey Ohm's law? (do you know what "obey Ohm's law" means?) |

practical ? they are posted! |
fold the sheet into eighths; make sure your last names are on the outside |

make the predictions (curren through and voltage drop across each resistor) asked for in lab D6: a) for the series circuit if you didnt finish it in class (this is the non-measurement part of A5 of the lab) b) for the parallel circuit (this is the non-measurement part of B3)... assume the same battery voltage as you used for the series prediction |
part C of lab D6 plus any other non-measurement parts of lab D6 |
bring to
class: 1) D6 completely finished including all measurements done with your partner 2) at least one of the four D7 circuits completely predicted (that includes written loop rules, junction rules, ohm's laws, and numerical calculations for the voltage difference across and current through each of the 3 resistors and the battery) today is the last day that we spend on D7 in class the last day for the 4 D7 checks is Friday |

& the following pictures and captions: Fig 22 (19,20,25,27) be ready to answer: what produces a magnetic field? what are the magnetic "charges"? how many are there? what are the attraction/repulsion rules? how do magnetic fields lines look? |
know how to find the force on a moving charged particle with the right-hand rule also page 722-723 on circular motion in magnetic fields |
