1 Name: PHYS4210 Electromagnetic Theory Spring 2009 Final Exam Wednesday, 6 May 2009 This exam has two parts. Part I has 20 multiple choice questions, worth two points each. Part II consists of six relatively short problems, worth ten points each. The short problems can be worked on on the front page of the sheet provided, but use the back if you need more room. In any case please be neat! You may use your textbook, course notes, or any other reference you may have other than another human. You are welcome to use your calculator or computer, although the test is designed so that these are not necessary. Good luck! Part I (Total): Part II Problem 1: Problem 2: Problem 3: Problem 4: Problem 5: Problem 6: Total:
