Dunno who already knows... but a recap...
I thought i'd failed physics... i though my final exam wouldn't even matter... i decided i'd retake the class, and not take the final... emailed my prof finally... he decides to give me a second chance... if i can get a C on the final... he'll pass me for the semester.
So... now I'm screwed. i have the day tomorrow to make the best of my studying, and then the exam is first thing friday morning. I'm hoping, (like praying desperately really,) that you guys can just help point at the most important things. I know this stuff is based on a few principles and the rest can be derived. So I'm hoping you can lay out the bare bones for me, and then help me understand it well enough, so i can apply those few things to the problems.
If you feel like being super helpful, ftp://rocky-2.physics.umass.edu/182/[/URL] that's the course materials site. Thats all i have to review from, cause the dumbass that i am... i brought my textbook home, so i can't use that. that's everything we've covered, plus the practice materials. I've just been skimming through it tonight... I'm at least familiar with the stuff through unit 6, (but by no means confident with it,) and i know nothing at all about magnetism, (i had this crazy idea that because fiance had left me... class was over...)
anyways... I'm not expecting a ton... but maybe someone has nothing to do tomorrow and feels like teaching an entire e&m course... at any rate, like i said, i know there's a few formulas that i should be able to derive a lot of the rest from.. maxwell's equations? (sad... but I'm not super positive what those are...) any help'd be awesome. you could pm me too if that's cooler... or I am me on any messengers... but here on pf works.
Thanks...
