| Problem Set
#1 (Due Tuesday, January 22, 4pm) |
Griffiths #1.9, 1.13, 1.16, 1.26, 1.37 Problems are listed as Chapter number DOT Problem number. |
| Problem Set #2 (Due Tuesday, January 29, 4pm) |
Griffiths #1.38, 1.44, 1.49, 1.53 |
| Problem Set #3 (Due Friday, February 1, 4pm) |
Griffiths #2.7, 2.8, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.18 GENERAL HINT FOR THIS PROBLEM SET: Other than the first two problems on this problem set (and really, mostly the first), if you are engaged in extensive calculus, you haven’t set up the problem correctly. The last four problems are relatively straight-forward once you exploit relevant symmetries or suggestions. |
| Problem Set #4 (Due Friday, February 8, 4pm) |
Griffiths #2.22, 2.27, 2.32ab, 2.35, 2.37, 2.43 |
| Problem Set #5 (Due Wednesday, February 13, in lecture) SOLUTION ERROR NOTE: There was a typo in my Problem 3.7 on Problem Set 5. This, and a cluster of algebra errors in my solutions to this problem (in parts b and c) went undetected until I graded the assignments. I will take this into account. I have updated the solutions as of Sunday, Feburary 17. |
