ELECTROMAGNETICS PROBSET

1. A point charge of mass m and charge Q and another point charge of mass m but charge
2Q are released on a frictionless table. If the charge Q has an initial acceleration ao,
what will be the acceleration of 2Q? Explain

(a) What is the net resistance of the circuit given below?

(b) What is the potential difference between A&B if V= 20 V and R= 1 kilo-ohms?

2. Consider the circuit on the right. Complete the table given below. Show your solutions.

C1= 1 Q1 = V1=?
C2 = 2 Q2= V2=?
C3 = 3 Q3= V3=?

Ceff =? Qeff = Veff= 25 V
 3. The speed of light in water is expressed as (3/4)c where c is the speed of light in the vacuum.
What is the effect, on the frequency and wavelength of light, of passing from vacuum (or air)
into water?

4. What is the critical angle for light passing from glass (n=1.54) to water (n=1.33)?

5. A biological sample with the height of 4.0cm, is 20cm in front of a thin convex lens of
focal length +12cm. Describe the image formed (nature, magnification and orientation).

6. A dentist uses a curved mirror to view teeth on the upper side of the mouth. Assume that
the dentist wants an erect image with a magnification of 2.00 when the mirror is 1.25cm
from a tooth.
7. What should be the specifications of the mirror required?

8. Using the following diagrams, identify who can be seen if given the eye position. Note
the green line represents the mirror.
