• Apply the second law of thermodynamics to find the maximum possible efficiency of heat engines.
• Calculate the maximum coefficient of performance of a heat pump or a refrigerator.
• Define changes in entropy and to explain the connection between entropy and disorder.

• State Coulomb's law
• Use Coulomb's law and the principle of superposition to find the electric force between charged particles.
• Use Coulomb's law and the principle of superposition to find the electric field produced by charged particles.
• Use Gauss' law to find the electric field produced by symmetric charge distributions.
• Calculate the potential difference between two points in space for various distributions of charged particles.
• Obtain the electric field when given the potential.
• List the properties of conductors in static situations.
• Find the capacitance of capacitors in series and in parallel.

Prepare for the test by reviewing assignments 1 - 12.

Please take the practice test on Canvas.  You can take this test as often as you want.  No score is kept.  Each problem contains hints for incorrect answers.

Formulas

The first page of test 1 is the formula sheet.  During test 1 you can use this formula sheet, but you can also use other printed (on paper) reference materials of your choice.  You however must work alone.  Please do not consult with another person while you are taking the test.
