Exam 2 is scheduled for Nov. 18. The format and rules for Exam 2 are similar to those for Exam 1. You can find two previous exams on magnetostatics posted under the "Exam" section of the website. There you will also find a cribsheet that will be provided with the exam. You may not use any other cheat sheets, study aids, calculators, or communication devices during the exam.
I think the equation sheet contains plenty to help jog your memory but if you wish to add anything to it, I will gladly consider any reasonable request. Good luck to all on the exam.
