1. Use Coulomb’s law and the principle of superposition to find electric fields of charged particles and
determine forces on charged particles.
2. Apply Gauss’s law to find electric fields of symmetric charge distributions and infer charge
distributions on conductors.
3. Qualitatively and quantitatively reason with electric potential and electric potential energy;
determine electric potential difference from electric field.
The learning objectives below are a more detailed description of the various topics and concepts we have
covered so far in this course. When writing questions for exam 1, I will primarily rely on the following learning
objectives. For each learning objective, they should be read as follows: “On the exam, I should be able to…”.
For example, the first learning objective under the Coulomb’s Law section would be read as “On the exam, I
should describe what charges exists and how they interact”.
