1. At which point the magnitude of the electric field is zero? a. b. c. d. e.

A B
C

D
None [1] Answer: Alternative b: at the point B

Why? Explain.

The electric field E1 due to the charge Q1 = 5.0 C is to the right, and that of Q2 = 5.0 C is to the right at point B . Due to the symmetry of the problem, the magnitude of them are equal. The resultant electric field is therefore zero. 2. At which point the electric potential is zero? a. b. c. d. e. [1]

A B
C

D
None [1] Answer: Alternative e: None.

Why? Explain.

Due to the fact that both charges are positive, and electric potential is scalar, the electric potential due to them is positive and nonzero at any point in space. 3. If a unit positive charge move from the point A to the point C , the potential energy of the charge [2] a. b. c. d. e. increases decreases first increases, then decreases first decreases, then increases remains constant through out the journey.

Why? Show your calculations below. [2]

First method:

Answer: Alternative b: I1 = 4.0 A

The resistances are in parallel. Therefore, the potential difference between their terminal are :

Ohms law: V1 = R1 I1 I1 = Second method: We may solve the problem logically. 16.0 A is divided to five parts. More current passes through the line with lesser resistance. Therefore 4.0 A passes through R1 = R2 = R3 = 2.0 and 2.0 A passes through
V1 8.0 = = 4 .0 A R1 2.0

R4 = R5 = 4.0 .

13. Both the Van de Graff generator and the lady in the picture are charged. Why does her hair stands out? Explain. [2/0] Answer: The lady in the picture and therefore her hair are charged. The charges on the each hair are of the same sort, and due to the fact that like charges repel each others, each hair is repelled by the hairs around it. The lighter her hair is the more dramatic is the rising of her hair.

14. When you bring a charged insulator rod close to a thin stream of tap water. The stream of water is affected by the charged rod. Why? Explain. [2/0] Answer: Water molecule is polarized, i.e. one side of a water molecule is more positive than the other side of it. When a charged rod gets near the thin water stream, due to the fact that water molecules are all polarized, and due to the fact that opposite charges attract, water stream is attracted to the charged rod.

Answer: Alternative B. Voltmeter must be in parallel, and ammeter must be in series in an electric circuit. 18. The internal resistance of an excellent voltmeter must be: a. Very small. b. Very large. Why? Explain. [1] Answer: Alternative b: Very Large
Voltmeter is always connected in parallel to the terminals of the electric device. By definition, the measuring device should not effect the system. Therefore, if the internal resistance of the voltmeter is very large, quite a small amount of current will pass the voltmeter, and therefore major part of the current will pass the electric device, and therefore voltmeter is going to measure the potential difference without effecting the system.

d. Towards d. e. Towards e. f. Towards f. g. Towards g. h. Towards h. Why? Explain. [2]

Q2

Answer: Towards f.

The force between P and Q1 = 5.0 C is repulsive, i.e.: it is in the direction g in the figure. But the force between P and Q2 = 5.0 C is attractive, i.e.: it is in the direction e in the figure. Due to the fact that both, distances and the magnitude of charges are identical, magnitudes of forces are the same: F1 = F2 Therefore, the resultant vector will be in the direction e.

Base your answers to the problems 21-24 on the figure below which illustrates an electron projected into the region between two parallel charged plates which are 2.0 mm apart. The MN electric field between the plates is E = 2.0 C

2.0 mm

21. In which direction will be deflected? a. Toward the bottom of the page. b. Toward the top of the page. c. Into the page d. Out of the page. e. It is not going to be deflected.

[1/0]

Answer: Alternative a: Toward the bottom of the page.

First method: The electron will be attracted to the positive plate. Second method: The electric field in the region between the plates is uniform: It is toward the top of the page. Due to the fact that charge of electron is negative, the electric force on it will be in the opposite direction of the electric field. Therefore the electron will accelerate r r downward: F = e E .

The force experienced by the electron during the time it is moving between the plates is: a. 3.2 10 13 N Downward toward the bottom of the page. b. 3.2 10 13 N Toward the top of the page. c. 3.2 10 19 N Toward the top of the page. d. 3.2 10 19 N Downward toward the bottom of the page. e. The electron is not going to be deflected. Therefore, the total force on the electron is zero. Why? Show your calculations below.
