20230503

• Final exam preparation

  • Start with Chapters 5-10 (because there is a midterm 2)
    • Physics 1602 Midterm 2
  • Finding a Solution for Physics 1602 Special Relativity

• Identifying Anxieties from Physics 1602 Chapter 5

• Following Physics 1602 Pset

pset 3

• 

  • Be careful because you can’t do the proof without this.

• It seems important to have the idea that you can do a ^1/2 binomial approximation when looking at roots.

  • It’s done everywhere.

E&M

• When differentiating $1/|x|$, replace it with $1/\sqrt{x^2}$ and calculate.
  • It becomes $x/|x{|}^3$.
• It’s quite important not to lose the direction information of vectors in the field. (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo)
• Why prac exam 2e?

Things to memorize

• Beta transformation.
  • $\frac{\beta -{\beta }_B}{1-\beta {\beta }_B}$
• Derivation of acc?
• 
  • In addition, $y=y-y_B$
• 
  • 

  • Thus, the acceleration in the x direction, as

  • seen in the primed frame, is reduced compared to that in the rest frame by three powers of γ, two from time

  • dilation and one from Lorentz contraction. However, the perpendicular components of the acceleration are only

  • reduced by two powers of γ– the ones due to the time dilation.

    • Genius (blu3mo)

• Not values but formulas

• 

Integrate energy density over the entire space

• C=Q/|Φ|

• J=i/A

• R=L/σ_c

• C=ε_0A/d

• E = λ/2πϵ_0r

• By default, timelike

Check with OH

• Understanding causality
• p406 x direction
