How your grade will be calculated
Prelectures: 50
Checkpoints: 25
Lecture participation: 25
At the end of the semester your lecture bonus points are
added to your HW/Quiz score (250 max).
Your top 22 HW/Quiz scores
determine your grade out of
250.
Bonus Points: You can earn up to 1 extra bonus point in every
lecture (for a maximum of 25 bonus points for the semester) by
getting the right answers to all of the clicker questions.
You can make up for several bad quizzes by
answering correctly in class.

Purpose: Promote
REFLECTION
These questions serve as a
test of your understanding of
the questions posed as
immediate feedback.
After first deadline
Delayed Feedback questions
turn into “immediate feedback
questions”. 80% credit can be
obtained by answering these
questions correctly before the
second deadline.

Coulomb’s Law:
q1 q2
The force on a charge due to another charge is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the separation squared.

The force is always parallel to a line connecting the charges, but the direction depends on the signs of the charges:

q1 q2 Opposite signs attract
q1 q2
Like signs repel

Balloons
Take two balloons and rub them both with a piece of cloth. After
you rub them they will:
A) Attract each-other
B) Repel each-other
C) Either – it depends on the material of the cloth

If the same thing is done to both balloons
they will acquire the same sign charge.
They will repel !
