As we discussed today, the final exam will consist of two parts:

Part I: Multiple choice. Worth 50% of the exam grade, approximately 20 questions. Roughly half will be conceptual, roughly half involving simple calculations. Solve them all.

Part II: Problems. Worth 50% of the exam grade, you will solve a certain number of problems in each of 7 sections, for a total of 11 problems. You must solve the indicated number of problems in each section.

• Electric forces, fields, and energy: solve 2 of 5.
• Current, resistance, and dc circuits: solve 2 of 4.
• Magnetism & induction: solve 2 of 4.
• ac Circuits & EM waves: solve 1 of 3.
• Optics: solve 2 of 4.
• Relativity: solve 1 of 3.
• "Modern" Physics: solve 1 of 3.

You are allowed two full sheets of standard 8.5x11" paper, front and back, with formulas and so forth. I will provide most formulas and all numerical constants (masses, etc.) on the exam. Beyond your formula sheets, you are allowed only writing implements and a calculator.

The final is worth 20% of your total grade.

Post any questions you might have here, so I can easily answer them for everyone.
