This is Page 2 of a PLTL workshop for introductory physics, at the undergraduate sophomore level. It may also be used in Workshop Physics, or simply as supplemental material for the course.
Page 3 of 6 of a PLTL workshop on introductory calculus-based physics, addressing Coulomb electrostatic fields. This page addresses an example of the electric field at any point on the axis of a cylinder of uniform charge density outside the cylinder itself. The emphasis is on leading students to understanding of relationships, and heuristic techniques to encourage students to work through details on their own initiative.

Page 6 of 6 of a PLTL workshop on Coulomb electric fields in introductory physics. This page addresses post-solution considerations for students to follow the PLTL workshop.
Students are introduced to several key concepts of electronic circuits. They learn about some of the physics behind circuits, the key components in a circuit and their pervasiveness in our homes and everyday lives. Students learn about Ohm's Law and how it is used to analyze circuits.
Designed as a module for use in a Peer Lead Team Learning workshop.
This course is the second of a two-part introductory, calculus based, general physics course intended for non-physics majors. The course is designated to train you in a wide variety of problem-solving skills that you will be able to transfer far beyond this physics course. Doing well in this course does not require you to be a “genius”, but you will have to think about the physical concepts in order to understand them and you will have to apply these ideas in order to solve computational problems. To accomplish the former, all you really need is your brain (in good working order) and the willingness to use it. To accomplish the latter, you will need some mathematical skills. These are reviewed in Appendices A and B, located in the back of the course text.
