A comprehensive physics test covering electromagnetism concepts. It includes multiple-choice questions, problem-solving exercises, and detailed instructions for students to demonstrate their understanding of electric fields, magnetic fields, and their interactions. The test is designed to assess students' ability to apply fundamental principles and solve complex problems in electromagnetism.

Unless specifically asked to derive a result, you may start from the formulas given on the formula sheet, including equations corresponding to the fundamental concepts. If a formula you need is not given, you must derive it. If you cannot do some portion of a problem, invent a symbol for the quantity you can not calculate (explain that you are doing this), and use it to do the rest of the problem.

Problem 1 - 15 points
Deep in the bowels of Howey a proton is created and shot across campus with a constant velocityvel⃗. Take Howey to be the origin and the location of a detector at Skiles to ber⃗ (^) obs. This detector can measure the electric and magnetic field at that location. Below is an incomplete code to calculate these fields and display them as arrows at the observation location. At the bottom of the code, please add the functions for finding the electric and magnetic fields and add the missing code to update the fields and arrows at the detector as the proton moves from Howey to Skiles

Problem 3 - 30 points
The outer surface of an in- sulating spherical shell of radius 2R is uniformly cov- ered with a total charge 24 Q with Q > 0. It is placed inside an uncharged, thick metal spherical shell with inner radius 4R and outer radius 6 R as indi- cated in the diagram.
