Formula Sheet
Here is a formula sheet that includes most of the topics and formulas relevant to Physics 1C:
Topics not included in this formula sheet that you should also know include:
- 1A/1B: mechanics, oscillatory behavior, Coulomb potential/Gauss’s law, and behavior of charges in electric fields
- Math: integration and differentiation of polynomials/logarithms/exponentials/trigonometric functions, constructing differential length/area/volume elements, averaging and rms
- Other topics: magnetic torque, power, ray tracing geometric optics configurations, constructing 4-vectors
Handouts
In my sessions I solicit questions on course material. Here are handouts on topics that are stumbling blocks for many students.
