1 MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Physics Department Physics 8.07: Electromagnetism II November 5, 207 Prof. Alan Guth FORMULA SHEET FOR QUIZ 2 Exam Date: November 8, 207 A few items below are marked with asterisks,. The asterisks indicate that you won t need this material for the quiz, and need not understand it. It is included, however, for completeness, and because some people might want to make use of it to solve problems by methods other than the intended ones.
