Quiz for Friday 2 Feb 2007
Just as a reminder, tomorrow's quiz will cover Chapter 18, sections 1-4.
Which basically means the quiz will be on resistor combinations.
Five questions, multiple choice.

Ch. 18 Lecture Notes
A first complete draft of the Ch. 18 lecture notes is ready[PDF].
As the notes imply, your responsibility for Ch. 18 is only sections 1-5. Sections 6-8 are very neat though, and you should read them anyway :-)
Lab Procedure 1 Feb 2007
Today's lab will be on charging and discharging capacitors in "RC" circuits, which will not coincidentally be the subject of the lecture immediately prior to the lab.
You can find the procedure here[PDF]

Lab Procedure 30 Jan 2007
A preliminary laboratory procedure for today can be found here.
In this lab, you will explore the relationship between current and voltage for parallel and series combinations of resistors. You will attempt to verify the rules for finding equivalent resistance, and learn a more realistic sort of electrical characterization.
You will be using the same (new) hardware and software as in last week's laboratory, which should make this lab go more smoothly. Use of excel will be required this time, however, which often negates potential time savings.

Updated notes
The notes for Chapters 15, 16, and 17 have been updated. In particular Ch. 16 has an example of how to break down complicated capacitor arrangements (from the homework problem), and Ch. 17 is now more complete, including last week's quiz with solution.
Section 17.3 is not yet included in the notes ("Current and Voltage Measurements in Circuits"), refer to the text for now.
Preliminary notes are available for Chapter 18, though they will be very incomplete until late Mon 29 Jan.
View a listing of the notes to date.
