This announcement covers upcoming homework due tomorrow, including Chapter 25, Problem 62, and Chapter 26, Problems 3 and 5. Additionally, students are reminded of office hours and the Tutorial Learning Center (TLC) hours. The focus of Chapter 26 is on the electric field, discussing key concepts such as Coulomb's Law, the electric field of point charges, and dipole moments. Students will engage with practical problems related to the electric field, including calculations and diagrams of charge interactions.
