The Final Exam is coming up.

Wed. December 17, 2003

1:30-4PM

G2B47 (our usually lecture room)

Bring a calculator, 3 cheat sheets (8.5"x11" front and back), and something to write with.

I'll be available in office hours Monday and Tuesday 2-3PM for answering your questions.

The final exam will be cumulative, with roughly half covering recent material from Chapter 6 (magnetic fields in matter) and Chapter 7 (Faraday's Law and Maxwell's Equations) and roughly half on all material from earlier in the course. For the earlier material, look at the Exam 1 and Exam 2 study guides to see what I think are the main topics. Below, I have listed some of the high points that I think of as the core recent materil. However, all of Chapter 6 and 7, and anything from Homework Assignments 10 and 11, I consider fair game for recent material.

Chapter 6: Magnetic fields in Matter:

Know about magnetic dipoles and magnetic moments, especially how to add them up to yield the magnetic moment per unit volume. Know about the B, M, and H fields, bound currents from M, and Ampere's Law for the H-field. Know about linear magnetic materials and magnetic permiability.

Chapter 7: Electrodynamics.

Faraday's Law, inductors, generators, energy stored in magnetic fields, Maxwell's repair of Ampere's Law, and the final form of Maxwell's Equations are the main topics in this chapter. Know about simple L, R, C circuits.
