The document is an assignment on classical electrodynamics that contains 6 questions. The first question asks about calculating the work done to place a charge in a configuration of 3 other charges. The second question asks to derive the Laplace equation in rectangular and cylindrical coordinates. The third asks to prove a line integral of the electric field is zero. The fourth asks about solving for electric potential with a charge density and its significance. The fifth asks to use Stokes' theorem with a triangular surface. The sixth asks to write an application of Gauss' law.
