| June 10 | QUEST |
QUEST 1) Derive the Wave Equation from first principles: You will be given a blank sheet of paper and asked to reproduce the derivation found on pp. 423-424 of HRW. 2) You will be asked to solve exactly one multi-part problem regarding oscillations and waves. It will sharply resemble one h.w. problem that we solved in class; only the numbers and similarly small details will be changed to protect the innocent. |

EXTRA CREDIT I: Extra Credit: 1. Assuming the conservation of electric potential energy, type out a full derivation for the current as a function of time in an RC Circuit. 2. Assuming the numerical values presented BELOW for a particular RC Circuit (two resistors in parallel, one in series both with the pair and with the capacitor), find the amount of time for the current to decay to half its original value. Emf = 9 Volts. C = 100 micro-Farads. R1 (in main loop of circuit, series with battery and capacitor) = 400 Ohms. R2 = 200 Ohms, R3 = 300 Ohms. R2 and R3 are both in parallel with each other. But that parallel configuration itself is in series with everything else. |
