Chapter 30:
In order to use Faraday's law you must be able to calculate fluxB.
As
B
= B.dA,
this requires being able to calculate B and dA. A quick review of 30.7
and Ampere's law, are probably in order. You might also want to make sure
you know how to set up integrals to find the areas of some simple geometric
shapes like circles, squares, triangles, rectangles. This will help you
in finding the differential area element.
Know how to find displacement current and
use Ampere-Maxwell's equation to find B.
See displacement current Problems pg24
of practice tests
Know what paramagnetic diamagnetic and ferromagnetic mean. Know What M, H and B represent. Know what magnetic susceptibility and magnetic permeability mean. Know how M depends on temperature and what a Curie temperature is.
Chapter 31:
Lenz's law:
You must be able to determine the direction
of current induced in a loop of wire. Go through the text and figure directions
for every picture for the chapter 31 problems until you are sure you know
what you are doing.
Faraday's law
E
= - d
B/
dt
Be able to find E
when B is changing, I is changing, A is changing, or angle
is changing. Be able to find E
when a bar is moving, the whole loop is moving or the magnet is moving.
Eddy currents:
Know who Eddy is, what his favorite shape
looks like, and what direction he is going.
Also note this:
It has come to my attention that some of you have not seen a particular notation that is on the exam. The expression "exp(x)" is the exponential of x. It is a little hard to write in a text email message but it looks something like exp(x) = e to the x power.
I hope that clarifies that for everyone.
