Past Qualifier Problems

Summary:

The following tables list the problems asked on recent qualifier examinations. As described elsewhere in this web site, all problems are chosen from the following two sources:

Physics (Fifth Edition)
John Wiley and Sons (2002)
Vol 1 is by Resnick, Halliday, and Krane and has the following ISBN: 0-471-32057-9
Vol 2 is by Halliday, Resnick, and Krane and has the following ISBN: 0-471-40194-3

Most problems chosen are based on sample problems found within a chapter plus exercises and problems and problems at the end of a chapter. In Part II, ocasionally a problem is based on text in the book. Once, problems have been based on multiple-choice problems at the end of the chapter. The tables list the source (sample=S, exercise=E, problem=P, multiple-choice=M, text=T), chapter, and number, e.g., P18-22 is the 22nd problem in chapter 18.
