Physics 300
Final Exam Blueprint

Final Exam Time/Date/Location: Wednesday, 9:00-11:30 in L113

The final exam will consist of 5 multi-part questions of varying worth. You will have 2.5 hours to complete the exam and can use your formula cards as well as a calculator. The questions will lead you from simple conceptual ideas to specific applications. Everyone should be able to get at least the first couple of parts of each question but I don't expect anyone to get every thing! (But I will be delighted if you do).

Advice on how to prepare:

• make sure you review 4-momentum, space-time and the diagrams that we use to understand these!
• understand conceptually what relativity is, and how you would explain it to a friend. Maybe even enlist a friend and try explaining the theory as well as evidence for the theory to him/her.
• review all of your homework questions
• work through a number of e&m problems from Knight. Choose the Basic level questions to help spot any serious problems (you should find these easy) and the Challenge level in Knight for a deeper test of your understanding. I will be asking you a bit more general kinds of question because the questions will overlap a number of topics.
• be sure you understand how to use vector notation and basic vector math
• practice the Biot-Savard Law and especially how to set up components of the B-field.
• get a good night's sleep Tuesday night!
