Lab for Mon 13 July 09

Monday's lab will be an investigation of capacitors. There is no need to read the procedure well in advance of the lab session, just form your lab group and begin reading it when you arrive at the lab session.

It isn't that we don't like you to be prepared - it's just that we haven't gotten to capacitors yet, so it may not make much sense for you to spend time on the procedure at this point.

That implies that tomorrow's plan for lecture is to get through electric potential and capacitors so you understand what the lab is all about. This means that I may reorder some of the material in tomorrow's lecture compared to the notes or textbook and pick it up on Tuesday. We'll see how it goes though ...

Regardless, either in lecture or lab, I will be going over some sample problems and giving out hints on HW2.
