Review: HW 11:1 #1-10 Electrostatic Forces & Fields

Introduce/Develop: Electrostatic forces/fields between continuous distributions of charge - integration!

Assign: Lab 11:1 - Electrostatic deflection by a uniform electric field - to be worked on by students in project groups [VERY limited/expensive equipment!] - to be completed by Friday. Bring in the relationship between electrostatic potential and electric field [V=E×d] for purposes of the lab ONLY!

Assign: HW 11:1 #11-23 Electrostatic Forces & Fields

Announce: Quiz 11:1 Discrete Electric Forces for Friday
