and when electric energy = q E d (or when gravitational energy = m g h) |
(n class or lab) that produce an E field or a voltage difference? |
block G needs GREEN lab book |
RED lab book for lab D4 |
|
| what
we'll do in class |
our
last day on chapter 20 we'll do an energy problem using q E d |
lab D3 in class |
lab continues for block G |
block A: learn about multimeters; lab D4 starts in RED book (if you picked it up on my table, remember to bring it to class today) block G: continue with lab D3 |
block G: learn about multimeters; lab D4 starts in RED book (if you picked it up on my table, remember to bring it to class today) block A: lab D4 continues |

(dont worry about the formulas... concentrate on pictures and ideas) TWTW pp. 192-193 (pp. 180-181 in the "new" edition) about light bulbs (note how/where the wire inside the bulb connects to outside the bulb!) we will ask questions about both during lab today |
|
block A and G: read (not do) problems 20(75,77) block A also reads section 21(1) and TWTW p. 287 (TWTW NEW ed. p. 267) on current |
read TAN handout both A and G read TWTW p. 279, 288-89 (TWTW NEW ed. pp. 259, 268-269) on batteries block G also reads section 21(1) and TWTW p. 287 (TWTW NEW ed. p. 267) on current |

the EM Field program necessary for Monday's homemwork can be downloaded from the T drive under Software/Physics/ I would drag the EM Field icon over to your hard drive and then double click on it and follow instructions |

know what an electric field, what it does, and what creates it |
|
how van de graaf generators work (first page only) block G: 19(5) |

compare
(Newton's) gravity force law with (Coulombs') electric force do one problem with 2 point charges |
superposition problems (problems with more than 2 charges) |

to
bring to class: remember the list we made in class of the special properties of Newton's gravity law on October 17? find it, and fill in a new column for properties of the Coulomb's electric force law |
