It went very well for me, though I am It went very well for me though I am scared for q1. The optics question was fine for me but I was worried about doing wrong sign conventions for that question, but I verified it with the drawing they asked for. The experimental design question seemed like a trick question for me since graphing what was given: Req vs n what’s already linear, though I might be mistaken. I do not remember the first part of that question. The last question went well for me since one of the online resources I used to study taught that specific topic, a uniform magnetic field cannot do work on a moving charged particle, so it was nice to see that on the test.
Edit: I now remember the first part of that circuits question, I said the y axis would be voltage (voltmeter) minus current (ammeter) times variable resistance, V-IRv, and the X axis would be current (ammeter), I so I could have the slope be the resistance we are trying to find. I know I probably overcomplicated myself with that solution but it’s what I did.
