K J I A K J I B: Electric and Magnetic Fields

This document contains a 7 question assignment on electric and magnetic fields. The questions involve vector operations including addition, subtraction, dot products, cross products, and finding a perpendicular vector. Students are asked to find resultant vectors, express vectors in terms of orthogonal unit vectors, calculate angles between vectors, and illustrate vectors on diagrams. The assignment is worth 95% for questions 1-6 and 5% for question 7. Students are instructed to submit their work in a scripts box outside the Physics Department.
