Week 8

On Tuesday, no students came to my office hours.

On Wednesday, some students came to my office hours for an exam prep session. I had prepared a list of practice problems to go over with them, and none of them were particularly challenged by the problem set. Students did, however, come with questions about approaches to these problems. The students were mostly challenged by the abstract concepts of chapters 18 & 19 (Electric force, electric field, and voltage). I focused on trying to relate electric field to force & voltage to potential energy in mechanical analogs, but I struggled to help them gain intuition.
