We may give you a problem on setting up the integral for a continuous charge distribution, although we do not necessarily expect you to do the integral, unless it is particularly easy. You should be able to set up problems like: calculating the field of a small number of point charges, the field on the perpendicular bisector of a finite line of charge; the field on the axis of a ring of charge; and so on. (2) To be able to recognize and/or draw the electric field line patterns for a small number of discrete charges, for example two point charges of the same or of opposite sign.(3) To be able to apply the principle of superposition to electrostatic problems.MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYDepartment of Physics8.02 Spring 2013(4) To be able to calculate the electrostatic force on a charge moving in an electric field and to apply either Newton’s Second Law or the work-kinetic energy theorem to suchmotion. (5) An understanding of how to use Gauss's Law. In particular, we may give you a problem that involve finding the electric field of a non-uniformly filled cylinder, slab,or sphere of charge. You must be able to explain the steps involved in this process clearly, and in particular to argue how to evaluate E ndA on every part of the closed surface which you must choose to apply Gauss's Law, even those parts for which this integral is zero. (6) An understanding of how to calculate the electric potential function of a discrete set of charges, that is the use of the equation V(r) =qi4p eor -rii=1Nå for the potential of N charges qi located at positions ri with V(¥) =0. Also you must know how to calculate the configuration energy necessary to assemble this set ofcharges. For a continuous charge distribution, you must know how to set up the integrand for the electric potential V(r) =dq4p eor -¢rsourceò(7) You must know how to calculate the change in potential energy when you move a charged object with charge qv from one point in space to another, DU =qDV and apply the energy principle to a closed and isolated system 0 =DU +DK.(8) The ability to calculate the electric potential given the electric field e.g. being able to apply the equation Vb- Va=-E×dlabò(9) To be able to answer qualitative conceptual questions that require no calculation. There will be concept questions similar to those done in class, where you will be asked to make a qualitative choice out of a multiple set of choices, and to explain your choice qualitatively in
