Today's lab will be on inductance and induced EMFs. Here is the procedure.

Several things will be explained in class, so don't worry too much if this doesn't make sense right now. You should also have some time to work on the homework problem if all goes well.

Site traffic this semester

Looking at the traffic on the course blog this evening, it was interesting to see the variation by day of the week. Class periods are obviously Tue-Th:



Most of the site traffic is between 8am-4pm each class day:



This implies to me that 1) most people print the notes just before class (which is fine, just good to know), and 2) the site is accessed frequently during class (no surprise there either).

The geolocation overlays are just neat. Very few *repeat* visitors from odd locations, but a few here and there. Overall, hits from pretty much everywhere. (Note: the size of the dots scales with the number of hits from that location.)
