Wednesday's class

First, we will discuss Electric Flux and Gauss' law (Ch. 24) for a while ... including a look at the current homework set.

At least the first two homework problems on the homework will require a bit of sneakiness involving Gauss' law. The third ... well ... you should already know how to go about it at least. I strongly suggest the energy minimization approach, which I will outline for you. By the end of the day, we should have covered most of Ch. 24, and you should have a good head start on the homework.

Then, we will explore what we learned about Gauss' law with some applets.
