									<div>This! This attachment. It's great.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Your last EM Induction (Faraday's Law, Chapter 20) Practice Problem for the semester. Then go to bed.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This one is a really good one. It's maybe the 2nd best of all the algebraic ones.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>No one of these Chapter 20 problems is urgent. They're all enrichment. Just make sure that you are reviewing and studying the topic of EM Induction. It is on the final for sure, both algebraic and directional.</div><br>

<div>
<div>More little practice final exam things. But I'm not encouraging last-minute cramming. This is intended for people who've read everything and have already done everything I've already given. The topics:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>1. Ratios of quantities in capacitors connected to each other. Pretty good practice document attached.</div>
<div>2. Electomagnetic Induction, Chapter 20, Algebraic Faraday's Law. Here's a core dump of a few more problems I have. It's not required to do all. Judge how much practice you need on the topic. Read the textbook examples on Faraday's Law. Also, Chapter 20 odd problems.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>And HEY! Have you been to the site below yet? Have you been there many times?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-physics-2/exam?course=ap-physics-2-algebra-based" target="_blank">https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-physics-2/exam?course=ap-physics-2-algebra-based</a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Every year I ask this. Many students politely nod. And I can tell they're lying. I've told you all many times that it is full of problems. I shouldn't be the one who has to identify a breakdown like the following:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>2018 Free Response Test #1: Electromagnetic Induction</div>
<div>2015 Free Response Test #4: Magnetostatics</div>
<div>2019 Free Response Test #1: Magnetism of some kind.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Do you find them on your own, take them as tests, and score your own with the Scoring Guidelines? I've told you to.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>And not only that, skimming through, I noticed the electricity topic is well-represented on those tests I just referenced as well. I've said all I can.</div>
</div>

									<div>
<div>Final Exam Info:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It's going to be focused on:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I. Electrostatics: Chapters 15, 16</div>
<div>II. Definition of Current: Chapter 17</div>
<div>III. Magnetostatics: Chapter 19</div>
<div>IV. EM Induction: Chapter 20</div>
<div>And finally, the following special topic, which is mostly Chapter 16:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>V. Deep Understanding of Equipotential Surfaces and their positioning within the gaps between capacitor plates when multiple capacitors of differing capacitance are connected in either:</div>
<div>1) series</div>
<div>2) parallel</div>
<div>3) A series combo of 2 in parallel with a third</div>
<div>4) A parallel combo of 2 in series with a third</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Topic V will be enhanced with a special set of notes I'm working on. "Fundamentals to Circuit Tricks Part 2" are these notes. They're a bit rough at the moment, so if anyone spends time on them before January 7 and the going is slow and confusing, they should put them aside and stop working on them in class until I explain further in person. It's much simpler in person.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>You're supposed to be going to the following sites a lot and finding prior year sample Free Response Exams:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-physics-2/exam/past-exam-questions?course=ap-physics-2-algebra-based" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-physics-2/exam/past-exam-questions?course=ap-physics-2-algebra-based</a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/resources/ap-physics-b-exam?course=ap-physics-2-algebra-based" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/resources/ap-physics-b-exam?course=ap-physics-2-algebra-based</a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Anyone who looks sees it's an endless supply. I do not at all understand why anyone buys and wastes time with those paperback "Cracking the AP Physics Test" books. They are of low quality. You have an endless supply of practice problems straight from the horse's mouth: The College Board, who writes your test.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Multiple Choice Sample Tests are harder to find. Attached are some. Again, those paperback book MC questions are usually of low quality as well. HOWEVER, even though these old B Exam MC's are of high quality, we do need better multiple choice samples for the Physics 2 specifically, but we still have some time. For the January final, these multiple choice questions attached are very good. For strategizing for May, it will be a little different, and bit more effort will be made in the near future to find dedicated AP Physics 2 multiple choice samples.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>For the final in January, worry less about gaming tests, and focus on using practice tests to create the deepest conceptual understanding you can on the topics I said above would be on the final.</div>
</div><br>

									<div>
<div>
<div>Chapter 19 Practice Material for mastery:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The attachments can be broken into two major categories:</div>
<div>1) Various Practice Problem documents and Chapter 19 Problems off of the Study Guide. All but three of the files below are in this category.</div>
<div>2) Documents designed specifically to train for the hands-on part of the Magnetism test that will occur on January 9. To know what will happen, one has to be prepare. It cannot possibly be common sense or skills that derive from brilliance. The attached documents named "Interpreting The Meters Correctly To Know The Flow", "Ring Near Changing-Current Solenoid", and "Inducing A Current By Removing The Bar Magnet", taken in that order, are specifically for this purpose. When using these particular documents, if you're not making a mental picture of the physical objects and the field vectors at all times while reading them, they become a waste of time.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Note: HW progress checks I've done so far were not for mastery. They were just familiarity of certain basic things. I'll be grading mastery on January 9 with a quiz. Everything attached here is at the mastery level.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>And finally, my spreadsheet infrastructure is all set up for January 7 for you to tell me what I need to know for grading for the two recent Experiments named "B Of A Bar Magnet As Measured By The Current Balance" and "Mass Of The Electron", both of which will earn you credit. If you have true, complete, realistic data that are legible and individually recorded (not in groups, there is no we) with clear units, then nothing can go wrong. None of this will be done by talking. I'll collect, I'll type, you'll work on something else while I do that.</div>
</div>

									<div>Points are defined for the remainder of the semester.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The plan for the rest of the credit items is now set in stone.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The Aeries gradebook shows some blank columns for items that will happen in the last week of the semester. Both Magnetic Field of the Current Balance and Mass of the Electron will be well handled. There will be another posting related to knowing how those will be handled. So make sure you bring all your data and documentation for that as first and second thing on January 2, 2020. The infrastructure to facilitate that has been set up today, December 21.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The gradebook will have more columns in it than are currently shown. At the very least will be a column for the final and one for the cardboard boat.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The gradebook is about as complete as I can make it at this moment. A big recent highlight was the Equipotential Surface Experiment, and those write-ups were fun to read. At least two students wrote about a mathematical discovery from that experiment that has never been revealed in my class before. They noticed it on their own.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I put a couple of notes and comments on some of the Aeries gradebook items that might be informative to some students.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I'll be using the Edlio site a lot between now and December 24 to post useful things that will help students know what to expect on the remaining magnetism grades and what to expect about certain topics on the final.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>One topic that will appear on the final and is a gradebook item called CW1 (for a credit item that will occur in class on the last day of the semester) has a mysterious title: "Capacitor Equipotential Circuit Concept Thing." I am making a review document connected to the final that will explain what that title refers to. It has to do with E field, equipotentials, surface plate charge density, conservation of energy, and conservation of charge.</div><br>

<div>
<div>The image in the attached document is posted for everyone in Period 5 whose last name is not Pope (only because she was given a different question to be used for HW grading, on a different day.) Also, keep in mind that some people got this HW-grading question right. And by itself, it's not the most important question in the world. However, it does provide an opportunity to illustrate effective studying.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It's from Page 654 of the textbook that you all were told to be using within the chapters I had indicated, Chapter 19, Magnetostatics.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I'm posting this in relation to my recent expectation that any student get credit by doing a Velocity Selector Homework check question that I prompted in class (on Monday, 12/16.)</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In case anyone's wondering why I made a big deal about it being bad to have a lack of expertise on this one application, the attachment might illuminate a few things.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Other postings to look for between now and December 23 will be tools to be used as a way of moving forward proactively in Magnetism so that one enters January 7 with an outlook based on strength and preparation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Proactive is better than reactive. This particular posting you're reading now is reactive, however, but necessarily so.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Note: The attached image was edited and improved a bit and then reposted at 7:12 PM on Saturday 12/21/19, just in case anyone downloaded the slightly less good version of the document before that time.</div>
