Problems will be assigned using the Mastering Physics website.

We'll be doing homeworks on the computer this semester. The computer package we'll be using is called Mastering Physics. You can get to their info page by clicking on the link below.(note: Course id is MPJOHNS96201)

Test 2 covers Ch 24-28
In the notes below, you will see capacitance on some test 1 review material. This test has capacitance on it!
You will get an equation sheet. It will look a lot like this one
Test 2 Not all versions have work shown.
Please be advised that every year is different in terms of content covered for tests and test format. Remember, you must show work on exams, even for multiple choice!
2nd Test A,(pg 2 is for Alternate)
2nd Test B,(pg 2 is for Alternate)
2nd Test C,(pg 2 is for Alternate)
2nd Test D,(pg 2 is for Alternate)

except for 1 f). Have to post that here: Pavg=Vmax*Vmax/(2R), R=18 Ohms, L=(1/(2 pi f)^2)(1/C)=2.53 micro-henrys (Note: since I said Maximum power instead of Average power, also acceptable is Pmax=Vmax*Vmax/R, R=36 Ohms.)Pratice test 4 (you never got it) solutions here
Note: The old exams don't always cover exactly the same material. You may find the old exams helpful in your study preparation. Please consider too, that these tests were prepared for a class that is 25 minutes longer than your class period. So, you can expect your test to be shorter
I will -try- to update these as we progress through the semester.(The order in the pdf files tends to be a bit jumbled, but they print LOTS better.)
