ENROLL IN PHY 299A RECITATION CLASSES
PHY 131 – PHY 132 – PHY 133 – PHY 235
If you are enrolled in PHY 131, PHY 132, PHY 133, or PHY 235 for Spring 2015 and need help, you are eligible to take a one unit supplementary course to assist you with concepts and problem solving skills.
PHY 299A-01 (PHY 131) Friday, 12:00PM-1:50PM Instructor: *Rosie Nawpar PHY 299A-02 (PHY 132) Friday, 10:00AM-11:50AM Instructor: *April Hankins PHY 299A-03 (PHY 133) Friday, 8:00AM-9:50AM Instructor: *Lana Stouklova PHY 299A-04 (PHY 235) Wednesday, 1:00PM-2:50PM Instructor: *Alex Small
! Recitation classes will provide students with the opportunity to discuss key concepts of the course in depth and in small groups.
! Classes are offered on a credit/no credit basis (no grades).
*Contact the Instructor listed above for a permission number to enroll in a recitation class.
Enrollment is limited!

This class will be taught in a way that is different from what you might have previously experienced
Very liLle <me in class will be spent on tradi<onal “lecture”
Rather, we will be engaging in “interac<ve learning strategies”: ac<vi<es designed and shown by research to improve your understanding of the basic physics concepts taught in the course
To help you prepare for this format of class, there will be on-‐line assignments due before each class to introduce the main concepts to you – more on that later
Physics 133 - Intro

Interactive Learning - what is it?
Interac<ve learning is a method of learning material in which you take an ac<ve role in mastering material
There has been considerable research regarding the use of ac<ve learning techniques to improve student learning of the basic concepts of physics
Some of you have already experienced this in previous Physics 130 classes or other science classes
Because this course is so interac.ve in nature, I don’t allow laptop use in class. Also, be sure to turn off or silence your cell phone before coming to class

Interactive Learning and “clickers” - a tool
Some of you may have had a chance to try out a new technology -‐ classroom response systems, or “clickers” (shown at right)
These are electronic devices that work like a remote control; I have a receiver aLached to my computer which can collect responses to ques<ons I will ask you during class
The “clickers” will also be used to take aLendance, so remember to bring them!
The use of clickers allows me to give you credit for par<cipa<ng in class, and also helps promote ac<ve learning through the use of “Think-‐Pair-‐Share” Ques<ons
Physics 133
Let’s try them out! If you have your “clicker” here today, take it out and
power it on Those of you who bought your clicker and used it today
will receive 1 point added to your overall grade for the class (out of 100)
You can s<ll receive this 1 point bonus if you get one and use it at next Tuesday’s class, so if you don’t have one yet, get one!
You can buy your clicker at the bookstore New clickers should be registered at
hLp://www.iclicker.com/registra<on Use your Bronco ID for your Student ID Used clickers can be registered on Tuesday between
5:15-‐5:25pm via “roll call” before class To avoid being dropped from class, do it by next week! Since you will be given credit for aLending and
par<cipa<ng in class, bring your clicker to class every day!

A chance to participate in an education study! To determine how instruc<onal style affects student learning, we have been conduc<ng an educa<on study of students in various PHY 133 sec<ons taught in different ways
Par<cipants in the study will take 2 assessments twice: once this week and once at the end of the quarter, plus complete short demographics and opinion surveys
All of these will be administered on-‐line via Blackboard; you should have received an e-‐mail containing instruc<ons
Par<cipa<on in the study is completely voluntary, but to encourage you to par<cipate, we are giving 2 points of extra credit to your overall grade if you complete all 4 assessments and the demographics and opinion surveys
Your iden<ty will remain confiden<al, and results will only be used in sta<s<cal aggregates
Your performance on the assessments will not affect your grade in any way There is no compensa<on for par<cipa<on in the study (other than the extra credit) but you will have the sa<sfac<on of helping us learn how to run these classes beLer
You may withdraw from the study at any <me If you have any ques<ons, contact me, Prof. Alex Rudolph, at [email protected]

Coulomb Law and Superposi<on
I think I found the interac<on between several (three or more) charges to be slightly confusing.
For some reason I am having a hard <me dealing with 2-‐D problems with the magnitude of forces, and would greatly appreciate if <me could be taken in
class to further explain the process.
everything was very informa<ve
I found the Force from Four Charges extremly challenging. Also, I find it very difficult to apply what I have learned from the BRIEF lecture videos. I prefer learning in the classroom sepng in which I can ask ques<ons to gain a beLer
understanding of the subject. Thank you.
Sum of the forces was a difficult topic to understand when there are many forces ac<ng on a single atom.
Stuff you asked about:
I found all of this difficult.
Physics 133
The force on a charge due to another charge is propor<onal to the product of the charges and inversely propor<onal to the separa<on squared.

The force is always parallel to a line connec<ng the charges, but the direc<on depends on the signs of the charges:

If the charges have the same sign, the force by charge 1 on charge 2 would be in the direc<on of r12 (to the right).

If the charges have opposite sign, the force by charge 1 on charge 2
would be opposite the direc<on of r12 (lel).

Coulomb’s Law question
Which charge on the right exerts the greatest force on the +Q charge on the lel?
A. +q only B. +2q only C. +4q only D. Two of these exert the same force E. None of the above
Physics 133
A: “The charge of right is 10 <mes greater than the charge on the lel, therefore it produces a greater force.” B: “Using Newton's Third Law, the force exerted on q by Q must be the same as the force exerted on Q by q; therefore, the two charges experience the same magnitude of force.” C: “Both charges experience repulsive forces because both charges are posi<ve. However, the charge of Q is greater than that of q thus, the force that Q exerts onto q is greater than the force of q onto Q.”

Case 1 Case 2
Compare the magnitude of the net force on q in the two cases.
A) |F1 | > |F2|
B) |F1 | = |F2|
C) |F1 |< |F2|
D) Depends on sign of q
F1 F2 = 0
A: “The component forces in case 2 are equal and in opposite direc<ons, while the forces in case 1 are equal and in the same direc<on. So the net force in case 2 is zero and the net force in case one has posi<ve magnitude.”
B: “Q+ and Q-‐ basically cancel each others forces out so case two has a greater net force.”
C: “When calcula<ng the net force, the sign of the charges does not maLer. The only thing that maLers is their magnitude.”
D: “Because we don't know the sign of q we can't determine the magnitude of the net force on the center charge.”

A) Fy > 0 B) Fy = 0 C) Fy < 0
A: “The y component of the net force will be greater than 0 because there are three charges pushing Q up, when only one is pushing it down.”
B: “The charges on the boLom act in opposi<on to the top charge of 3q. The summa<on of the boLom forces is equal to the top force. Therefore the net force is zero.”
C: “The y component of the three boLom charges are less than y component of the 3q at the top causing the net force on the par<cle to be in the nega<ve direc<on of y.”
