Reading:

Griffiths sections 2.3.3 -- 2.3.5, 2.5, 3.1, 3.3.1; Boas 13.1 -- 2

Problems for Review:

\

1. Check that Griffiths' result for the potential of a uniformly charged spherical shell (Example 2.7) obeys electrostatic boundary conditions, equations 2.34 and 2.36.
2. Griffiths problem 2.35ab.
3. Griffiths example 2.11.
4. Griffiths example 3.3. (KB will do this one.)
5. Griffiths example 3.4.
6. Griffiths example 3.5 (We won't do this in class, but you will need to be comfortable with it to complete assigned problem 6).

Problems to Solve:

\

1. Check that Griffiths' results for Examples 2.4 and 2.5 are consistent with electrostatic boundary condition Equation 2.33.
2. Griffiths problem 2.36a-d.
3. Griffiths problem 2.39.
4. Griffiths problem 3.12.
5. Find the potential in an uncharged, non-conducting rectangular plate 10 cm by 30 cm, if two adjacent sides are grounded, while the other two adjacent sides are held at a potential of 100 V. (HINT: See discussion of figure 2.2 in Boas.)
6. Griffiths problem 3.15.
