Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia

Mid Term Exam (UTS)

Even Semester 2020/2021

Course (Code) : Physics Electricity MWO

Lecture : FTUI Physics Lecturer team
Day, Date : Saturday, April 17th, 2021 Duration : 100 minutes
Competency (ELO) : 1 Exam Type : Open Book

Exam Guidelines:
 Students can open exam problems at the determined time and get the designated problems based on
numbers on the examinee list.
 Students write answers on A4/Folio papers and name and student ID on top right by using ballpoint/pen
(not pencil)
 Students must write this statement, “I declare truly and honestly that all written answers are my works
without helps from others,” on the last page and put a sign on it.
 Students must scan all answers in PDF/image format files and upload the scanned files before the end of
the exam.
 Students can send through other platforms if they fail to upload by including screenshot proof of failure
(contact the lecture to confirm this issue).

1. (30%) A pair of parallel plates in a vacuum has a rectangular area with a length of 10 cm. The distance
between the two plates is 4 mm.
a. Make a sketch and find the capacitance!
b. If a dielectric material with dielectric constant k=2 and dimension of 10 cm x 10 cm x 4 mm is in between
two plates, make the capacitor sketch and find capacitance!
c. If the same dielectric material with 10 cm x 10 cm x 3 mm is located between the plates and attached to
one of the plates, make the capacitor sketch and find the stored energy if 10 kV voltage different applied!

2. (20%) See Figure!

By considering Kirchoff’s Law 2, what is the electromotive force
(emf) ε to produce current 1.8 A flowing through R3?

3. (30%) A certain elastic conducting material is stretched into a circular loop of 10 cm radius. It is placed
with its plane perpendicular to a uniform 9,7 T magnetic field. When released, the radius of the loop
starts to shrink at an instantaneous rate of 287,1 cm/s.
a. Berapa besar induksi emf/ggl pada loop tersebut?
b. If the obtained induced emf is 6.1246 V, what is the loop radius when other variables are the same?
