Problem set 2 – my thoughts on the problems
1- electric flux practice – straightforward if on exam
2- electric flux practice, practice at visualizing and using one of the basic geometries we will use throughout course … cylindrical geometry, moderate difficulty if on exam
3- Electric flux plus Gauss’s Law, moderate difficulty, good for exam
4- Electric flux plus Gauss’s Law, moderate difficulty, good for exam
5- Gauss’s Law, moderate difficulty, would test a very basic knowledge of Gauss’s Law with problem that is very simple to execute once understood
6- conceptually difficult problem, tests understanding of Gauss’s Law and conductors at the more subtle level, good for exam, but difficult
7- spherical symmetry Gauss’s Law problem, reasonable moderate difficulty exam problem
8- planar geometry Gauss’s Law problem mixed with conductor concepts and superposition, this would be difficult exam problem, though no integrals
9- cylindrical geometry Gauss’s Law problem, moderate difficulty exam problem
