1: 25-1, practice with the capacitors, plug and chug, simple if on exam

2: 25-3, practice with the capacitors, plug and chug, simple if on exam

3: exam problem from last year. The problem is almost trivial if you understand the relation between potential difference, work and energy. This was one that was meant to be a simple exam problem. However, much of the class did poorly on this problem by trying to make it much harder than it actually is. How did you do?

4 & 5: 25-9 and 25-11, practice calculating capacitance in parallel and series, low to moderate difficulty, basically plug and chug – but the algebraic manipulations can sometimes be a pain

6: 25-17 and 25-19, practice with energy and capacitors. These two problems are plug and chug.

7: 25-25, more in-depth work with capacitors, energy and work. This one would be a more difficult exam problem.

8: 25-29, practice with dielectric constant concepts, plug and chug, would be simple if on exam except the dielectric concepts tend to be a little subtle for some of the class. I’d consider it low moderate difficulty on an exam.

9: 25-38, moderate difficulty applied capacitor design problem

10: 25-5, moderate to difficult applied dielectric/capacitor problem with a biological twist. Ever want to be a biophysics theorist? This is what some of them do.
