I. Multiple-choice problems: (each problem accounts for 5 points)
1. Two identical conducting spheres A and B carry equal charge. They are
seperated by a distance much larger than their diameters. A third identical
conducting sphere C is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to
B, and finally removed. As a result, the electrostatic force between A and
B, which was originally F, becomes:
(a) F/2 (b) F/4 (c) 3F/8 (d) F/16 (e) 0
2. The dipole moment of a dipole in a 300 N/C electric field is initially
perpendicular to the field, but it rotates so it is in the same direction
as the field. If the moment has a magnitude of 2 x 10^(-9) C．m the work
done by the field is:
(a) -12 x 10^(-7) J (b) -6 x 10^(-7) J (c) 0
(d) 6 x 10^(-7) J (e) -12 x 10^(-7) J
3. A particle with charge 5.0 μC is placed at the corner of a cube. The
total electric flux in N m^2 /C through all sides of the cube is:
(a) 0 (b) 7.1 x 10^4 (c) 9.4 x 10^4
(d) 1.4 x 10^5 (e) 5.6 x 10^5
4. Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout an insulating sphere
of radius R, centered at the origin. A particle with a positive charge Q is
placed at x = 2R on the x axis. The magnitude of the electric field at
x = R/2 on the x axis is:
(a) Q / 18πε0 R^2 (b) 17Q / 18πε0 R^2 (c) Q / 72πε0 R^2
(d) 17Q / 72πε0 R^2 (e) none of the above
5. If the electric field is in the positive x direction and has a magnitude
given by E = Cx^2, where C is a constant, then the electric potential V is
given by:
(a) 2Cx (b) -2Cx (c) Cx^3/3 (d) -Cx^3/3 (e) -3Cx^3
6. A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2 m^2 and a plate
seperation of 0.1 mm. If the charge on each plate has a magnitude of
4 x 10^-6 C, the potential difference across the plates is approximately:
(a) 0 (b) 4 x 10^(-2) V (c) 1 x 10^2 V
(d) 2 x 10^2 V (e) 4 x 10^8 V
7. Copper contains 8.5 x 10^28 free electrons/m^3. A copper wire of cross-
sectional area 7.4 x 10^(-7) m^2 carries a current of 1A. The electron
drift speed is approximately:
(a) 3 x 10^8 m/s (b) 10^3 m/s (c) 1 m/s
(d) 10^(-4) m/s (e) 10^(-7) m/s
8. A 20 μF capacitor is charged to 200 V. Its stored energy is:
(a) 4000 J (b) 4 J (c) 0.4 J (d) 2000 J (e) 0.1 J
9. It is better to send 10,000 kW of electric power long distances at 10,000V
rather than at 220V because:
(a) there is less heating in the transmission wires
(b) the resistance of the wires is less at high voltages
(c) more current is transmitted at high voltages
(d) the insulation is more effective at high voltages
(e) the iR drop along the wires is greater at high voltage
10. Two wires made of the same material have the same length but different
diameters. They are connected in series to a battery. The quantity that is
the same for the wires is:
(a) the end-to-end potential difference
(b) the current
(c) the current density
(d) the electric field
(e) the electron drift velocity
