Hello -
The Monday TAs decided to let the students take their lab reports home and turn them in next week.
I set up one of the apparatus for Part I so that the students could see what it looked like. I let the students set up the other ones. Remind them that the value for d they should use is on page 6-3 directly above the table.
Check all students' voltages early on. It is critical to have good voltage numbers and it is easy for the students to screw up. Red should be the lowest voltage and green the highest voltage.
Point out the sample calculations on page 6-6 and 6-7, for some reason the students don't know it's there. Also, there is a typo on page 6-11, in step 6 it says to use Table 6-1, it should read Table 6-2. Figure 6-3 confuses them a lot, so you will need to explain it several times.
