1) a very short description of your method for the part [2 or 3] of lab D4 that you didn't do Friday ["method" consists of a) your dependent variable; b) your independent variable c) what, if anything, will remain constant d) how many order pairs of (dependent, independent) you will have] |
bring the printed graph and associated 5-column matching table for the part of D4 you did in class on Monday (it will be graded during class today) see below |
see below if you miss the lab practical today, the make-up will be tuesday night (April 18), the first day you return from spring break UNLESS you have a night class.... if you do LET ME KNOW BEFORE MINITERM STARTS, so that we can make alternate arrangements |
|
| what
we'll do in class |
finish
the part of D4 (either 2 or 3) that you didnt do last Friday |
quizlet
on circuit labs (D2, D3, & D4) and related reading [particularly 21(1-2) and green sheet handout] (no measuring) both quizlet today and lab practical tomorrow are open notes, open lab books |
lab
practical (measuring and calculating) on Ohm's law and associated lab and reading [ lab D4; 21(1-2) and green sheet handout] |

and associated (5-colunn) matching table for the part of D4 you did last Friday (it will be graded during class today) you will be expected to finish the final part of D4 during class today AND obtain a printed graph for the data and produce the associated (5-column) matching table (you can be extra prepared by having completed most of the matching table in advance of coming to class) |
then you can show it to me in class today with most/partial/all?? credit (I know there were some printing problems in block D yesterday) |

we'll do in class |
last
day on chapter 20 |
lab
D3 in red book |
lab
D3 |
learn
about multimeters; lab
D4 starts in RED book |
lab D4 continues; you will complete parts 1 and 2 (or 3) of lab D4during the period; hopefully you will have a printed graph and a matching table by the end of lab for part 2 (or 3) |
|
(always done before class) |
know how to do energy conservation problems when electric field is constant |
(we will ask you in lab) |
|
(see syllabus for page numbers) also see Walker 21(1) about both current and voltage diff |

you may use your lab book |
block D:
review corrections to misconceptions we came up with on monday both blocks: how do we know a) the left charge is smaller in magnitude than the right charge? b) that both charges have the same sign? come to class with written answers AND explanations! |
|
know the definition (formula for) electrical energy in a) the special case of a charge q in a constant electric field E b) the general situation (true always, even when the field is not constant) both answers are in the reading in section 20(1) please come to class with the above two answers written down in your notes |
| what
we'll do in class |
using the electrophorus; origin of thunder and lightning; how to do electric field problems; |
lab quiz |
block
D: we will do 15 minutes of fields and then start lab D2 in the RED book block F: more on electric fields |
block
F: we start lab D2 in the RED book block D: more on electric fields, but also some on electric energy |
learn the procedure for electric elergy problems, applied to the case of the anode and cathode in the oscilloscope |
|
(always done before class) |
& 19(5) up to example 19-6 also how van de graaf generators work (first page only) |
|
make sure that you know how to do electric field superposition problems block D reads the oscilloscope handout on GRAY |
block F also reads the oscilloscope handout on GRAY |

we start lab D01 |

block F
has class; see class stuff (and what to bring and read) below block D: lab continues for half the period and has class for the other half; last trimester we made a table listing the 5 important properties of Newton's gravity law I warned you that we would use that table again, and it's now time... after you have done the reading, fill in another column of that table which contains the 5 important properties of Coulomb's electrostatic law and bring your results to class |
