Electric Force, Field, and Potential
What happens to the path of a positively charged particle when it enters a uniform electric field perpendicular to its initial velocity?
It stops moving immediately due to attraction.
It continues moving with constant velocity.
Its path remains straight but accelerates parallel to the field.
It follows a parabolic trajectory.
What observation about thermal radiation supported Planck’s hypothesis about quantized energy levels?
All objects emit some form of thermal radiation proportional to their temperature.
Materials absorb thermal radiation more efficiently at higher temperatures.
The spectrum emitted by blackbody radiators at different temperatures is discrete rather than continuous.
Higher temperature objects emit radiation with greater average wavelengths compared to lower temperature ones.
What is the SI base unit for current?
Newton (N)
Watt (W)
Ampere (A)
Kelvin (K)
If equipotential lines are spaced closer together at one end of a charged object, what can be inferred about that region's electric field strength compared to regions where equipotential lines are spaced further apart?
The electric field is stronger where equipotential lines are closer.
Equipotential line spacing does not relate to electric field strength.
The electric field strength is uniform throughout.
The electric field is weaker where equipotential lines are closer.
What happens to a positively charged particle when placed in an electric field?
It moves from lower to higher potential areas
It moves from higher to lower potential areas
Its charge decreases over time due to movement
It remains stationary at its original position
What happens to the total resistance in a parallel circuit when another resistor with the same value is added?
It increases proportionally.
It doubles.
It decreases.
It stays the same.
What feature of electric field is represented by closer isoline spacing on an electric field map?
Weaker electric field
Uniform electric field
No change in electric field
Stronger electric field

What experimental evidence best supports the wave-particle duality of light?
The photoelectric effect showing that light has momentum.
Interference patterns produced in a double-slit experiment.
The constant speed of light in a vacuum.
Diffraction of light around obstacles or through narrow openings.
If the permittivity of free space was doubled, how would the electric field strength between two point charges in a vacuum change, assuming all other variables remain constant?
It would remain unchanged.
It would be doubled.
It would increase by a factor of √2.
It would be halved.
