AT Cycle 16

🔴 2: M 12/12a, 🟡 4: F 12/9 - continuous charge distribution (1) 

Daily Check-in: E-field continuous distribution

Today, we'll do some problems which require us to calculate the electric field due to a continuous distribution of charge:  

• Required:  Electric field integrals #2 only (WHERE you put theta matters in what the integral looks like, but the result should be the same if you've chosen the correct limits.  Here's one solution, and here's another, and here's yet another), 1981E2, redo Giancoli Example 21-10 (p. 559), and state why the book chose to solve with d(theta) rather than dy.  Also, Halliday Chapter 22 #28, 29, 32, 31

• Enrichment: Halliday Chapter 22 #24, 33, 65

Homework:  Study for Rotation Assessment Monday, December 12th.  Continuous distribution of charge problems are due in ✏️ Google Classroom on Thursday, December 15th at 10pm (but I recommend you finish by Wednesday night).

With the last half hour of class, we will start the next lab activity.  We'll review what you should have learned about flux last year:  last year, we talked about magnetic flux in the context of induction, and this year, we'll find out more about electric flux.

Homework:  By next class (Wednesday), read this page on Electric Field Lines from The Physics Classroom.  Make sure that you understand the rules for drawing electric field lines.  If you don't remember anything about the concept of flux, watch the first 3:43 in my Faraday's Law video.  Continuous distribution of charge problems are due in ✏️ Google Classroom on Thursday, December 15th at 10pm (but I recommend you finish by Wednesday night).
