It’s December, so it’s time to learn something completely new – capacitance! Here are your assignments for Monday, December 2nd through Friday, December 6th:
finish Lab #2-4: Measuring Capacitance (if necessary); review capacitance book homework from Ch. 17
HW: finish write-up for Lab #2-4: Measuring Capacitance; study for Quiz #2-4A: Capacitance on Monday
We only have two and a half weeks before semester exams, so make sure you keep up with the work and let me know if you have questions or are struggling. Our last topic before exams will be a light introduction to DC circuits, so we’ll save the quiz and the tough stuff until after Winter Break. Have a great week!
Welcome to the last full school week of November! This week we’re going to learn about electric potential very quickly so that we can move on to capacitance in the hopes that we can complete DC circuits by the end of the semester. Here are your assignments for Monday, November 18th through Monday, November 25th:
