February 19
Required Problems: 4.2, 4.5, 4.11, 4.16,
Comments:
4.11: This is three qualitative sketches. Don't spend more than 15 minutes on this problem. But don't hesitate filling a couple sheets of paper doing these sketches. Draw three sets of vectors: Internal E, External E and a single vector line depicting the polarization.
4:16: These are three questions with extremely short solutions that are intended to help you see the distinct roles of E,P and D. Feel free to invoke the boundary conditions from Section 4.3.3 as needed.
Recommended Problems: 4.7, 4.18
February 24 (Wednesday)
Required Problem: Capacitance CAD problem #2
CAD Problem #2: Use Maxwell to help you design a practical capacitor with C/L=1.0e-6 F/m +/- 5%. Turn in Design Proposal. 1 written page minimum. Must include the capacitor technology and a convincing explanation of why your design can be realized with that technology. Include Maxwell Print-outs. This paper will be graded from the perspective of an engineering manager.
February 26
Required Problems: 4.23, 4.38, 4.39, 5.3,5.6(b)
Comment:
4.23: Successive approximation is only valid if the series converges. Nevertheless, the closed form of the series demonstrates convergence for all values of epsilon_r. Below what rather small value of epsilon_r is the open form valid?
