• Note that many problems are assigned to more than one person. People assigned to the same problem are welcome to work together and submit one solution, or work separately and submit two.

All-Campus Mentoring Day and Academic Fair are in week 9, Wednesday March 8.

• Mentoring Day activities are listed here. Seniors in particular may want to take advantage of individual Academic Statement support. There’s a link to sign-up for an appointment at the Mentoring Day site.
• Academic Fair is from 4 – 6pm in the CRC.

Reminders:

• EM meets at 9am Wed. Mar. 1 in Lab 2 2238 for a lab investigation. Lab 2 2238 is a regular lab room, so no food or drink is allowed in the room, you must wear closed toe shoes, and legs should be covered above the knees. In general, come dressed for lab work. Please bring your Griffiths. We’ll also have some lecture time, so you’ll want your lecture notebook.
• There’s no need to prepare anything particular in advance. If you would like to know what we’re doing beforehand, you can read the description of the apparatus we’ll be using at http://www.teachspin.com/magnetic-force.html.
• EM also meets 9 – 11am Thu. Mar. 2, in the Cave. This is in lieu of P/S time this week. This will be a regular EM lecture/discussion section.

We started but did not finish Griffiths 4.24 in class. You can find a detailed solution here.

• EM Quiz 6
• LA/QM Quiz 6

Problem Sets to be completed in your corresponding PSNs by noon Sun. Mar. 5.

• EM PS#7: Griffiths: 4.22, 4.26, 5.2(a)(c), 5.3, 5.4, 5.6, 5.9, 5.10(a), 5.12, 5.13, 5.41, 5.42

• EM notes: For 4.22, review 3.24 (done in class) and/or 3.26 (a homework problem). Note that 5.10 has been reduced to just 5.10(a). For 5.12, consider how to build up a spherical shell out of a bunch of rings. Problem 5.41 is a classic, and many of you likely did this in your intro EM course.
