These are copies of the questions in the prelabs for a particular choice of variables. The actual WebAssign problems will differ. These are for reference only.

Pre- and Post- Laboratories

WebAssign WebAssign Guide Quick-Start Guide (PDF)

Pre-labs and Post-labs are assigned to insure that you come to the laboratory prepared to conduct each week's experiment, and to test your retention of the material learned. A pre-lab is always due the day of the experiment, but a post-lab may be conducted several weeks after the conclusion of the experiment.

All questions are turned in using WebAssign. You will need an access code purchased through the Cadet Store to use the system. This code should have been included with your text-book for the accompanying physics course. If you had one last semester, it should still work, but you may need to link your accounts. See below. If you do not have it at the beginning of class, the system gives you a two-week grace period to acquire it. To log in, go to www.webassign.net, and fill out the Log In form on the right side of the page. Your user-id is the first part of your Citadel e-mail address, your institution is Citadel, and your password is the last four digits of your Citadel ID number. For example, if your e-mail address is smithj21@citadel.edu and your ID number is CIT-07-1234, then your user-id is smithj21 and your password is 1234.

No submissions are accepted after 9:00:00 AM on the due date, by WebAssign's clock. Extensions for known conflicts require previous approval, and are given only in rare cases. Emergency extensions are possible only if you have not viewed the set after it was due, when the answers are available.

Reusing WebAssign Access Codes

If you have an access code that was bundled with a text-book last semester, it will still work. However, your user-id probably changed. To use the same access code, you need to link the accounts. The steps are as follows:

  1. Log into one of your accounts and click the My Options link in the top right corner of your home page.
  2. Click the Accounts tab in the pop-up window and type the user-name and password of the other account, and the password for the account you logged in with.
  3. Click Save.
  4. After your accounts are linked, you will have a new Transfer option when prompted for an access code.
