Three positive charges are arranged in an equilateral triangle. What is the direction of the net electric field at the center of the triangle?
The net electric field is zero.
The net electric field points towards the charge with the largest magnitude.
The net electric field points away from the center of the triangle.
The direction depends on the exact value of the charges and the side length of the triangle.
Which of the following creates a magnetic field?
A stationary positive charge
A stationary negative charge
A moving positive charge
A neutral object

A long solenoid is tightly wound with turns per unit length and carries a current . What happens to the magnetic field inside the solenoid if the number of turns per unit length is doubled and the current is halved?
The magnetic field doubles.
The magnetic field halves.
The magnetic field remains the same.
The magnetic field becomes four times stronger.
What is the key principle behind Faraday's Law?
A constant magnetic field creates an electric current.
A changing electric field creates a magnetic field.
A changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (EMF).
A moving charge experiences a force in an electric field.
