These problems supplement the Electricity and Magnetism volume of the third edition of Matter and Interactions by Ruth Chabay and Bruce Sherwood. This web page consists of a growing set of problems aligned with the Matter and Interactions curriculum, which emphasizes the integration of modern physics in introductory courses.  Topics in Volume 2 include electric field, electric potential, magnetic field and force, circuits, patterns of field in space, Faraday's Law, and more.  Each problem can be viewed separately, with solutions, or downloaded as a pdf file.

The site includes videos showing solutions to many of the problems. These can be followed with RSS or as podcasts from iTunes. Instructors are encouraged to submit their own problems and solutions. Problems should be submitted in LaTeX format. Ample support for this process is provided by the web site, and authors will retain copyright for their submitted work.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Although this material is organized to support Matter and Interactions by Chabay and Sherwood, most of the problems can be used with other introductory physics texts. Additional information about the pedagogy behind Matter and Interactions, which emphasizes student modeling and a modern perspective, can be found at
