The figure shows the electric field lines in the vicinity of two point charges. Which one of the following statements concerning this situation is true? A) q 1 is negative and q 2 is positive. B) The magnitude of the ratio (q 2 / q 1 ) is less than one. C) Both q 1 and q 2 have the same sign of charge. D) The magnitude of the electric field is the same everywhere. E) The electric field is strongest midway between the charges.

A cubical Gaussian surface is placed in a uniform electric field as shown in the figure. The length of each edge of the cube is 1.0 m. The uniform electric field has a magnitude of 5.0 × 10 8 N/C and passes through the left and right sides of the cube perpendicular to the surface. What is the total electric flux leaving the cubical Gaussian surface? A) 5.0 × 10 8 m 2 /C B) 3.0 × 10 9 N × m 2 /C C) 2.5 × 10 6 N × m 2 /C D) 1.5 × 10 7 N × m 2 /C E) zero N × m 2 /C

What is the electric flux passing leaving a Gaussian surface that surrounds a C point charge? A) 8.5 × 10 9 N × m 2 /C B) 6.8 × 10 8 N × m 2 /C C) 1.3 × 10 7 N × m 2 /C D) 4.9 × 10 6 N × m 2 /C E) 7.2 × 10 5 N × m 2 /C  0 = 8.85×10 −12 SI Units

A solid, conducting sphere of radius a carries an excess charge of +6 µ C. This sphere is located at the center of a hollow, conducting sphere with an inner radius of b and an outer radius of c as shown. The hollow sphere also carries a total excess charge of +6 µ C. Determine the excess charge on the outer surface of the outer sphere (a distance c from the center of the system). A) zero coulombs B) – 6  C C) +6  C D) +12  C E) – 12  C

The net work done by a conservative (field) force on a particle moving around a closed path is ZERO!

The work necessary for an external agent to move a charge from an initial point to a final point is INDEPENDENT OF THE PATH CHOSEN!

A conservative force is NOT a Republican. An External Agent is NOT 007.
